The document discusses the EPEE's "Gap-o-meter" project which aims to monitor and help achieve the European Union's phase down of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The project has developed a roadmap identifying key actions needed like transitioning to lower global warming potential refrigerants for new and existing equipment, improving leak prevention, and increasing the use of reclaimed refrigerant. The roadmap estimates that these actions, if successfully implemented, could achieve the targeted HFC reductions. However, ongoing monitoring is needed to identify any gaps between the required and actual progress being made.

- 6. The EPEE Pledge (New York Climate Summit, 2014) „Make the F-Gas Rules Work“ CREATION OF A DEDICATED LOW EMISSIONS TASK FORCE, TO: 1. Ensure a harmonised understanding – Events, Communication Tools, Cooperation 2. Develop efficient monitoring tools – „Gap-o-meter“ in cooperation with Ray Gluckman to monitor EU phase-down 3. Eliminate barriers – Promote EU Standard EN 13313 in view of required competence of the workforce 4. Support global action – Work with the Climate & Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and UNEP – Participate in international meetings – Member of the Global Refrigerants Management Initiative (GRMI) and Refrigerant Driving Licence (RDL)

- 11. What is the EPEE Gapometer Project? A 2-stage project to understand and monitor the phase down of HFCs in the EU • Stage 1: EU Phase Down Roadmap (developed 2015) – to show how the challenging phase down targets can be met – creating a good understanding of what actions must be taken • Stage 2: Monitoring progress (in 2016 and 2017) – market research to assess the actions being taken – and to identify any significant “gaps” between required and actual progress
- 12. "Core Actions" to achieve the EPEE Roadmap 2. Actions for existing equipment • leak prevention • retrofit with low GWP alternatives Existing Equipment 1. Actions for new equipment • use lower GWP alternatives • design for less refrigerant charge and low leakage New Equipment 3. Use of reclaimed refrigerant • recovered from equipment at end-of-life • recovered during retrofit of existing equipment Reclaimed Refrigerant

- 16. What does the Roadmap Scenario tell us? Existing Equipment Reclaimed Refrigerant New Equipment Other issues • An early move away from R-404A in new systems is important • Introduction of a range of new lower GWP fluids for new equipment and products needs to be done quickly – but impact will probably be after 2018 • Wider use of flammable refrigerants (both A3 and A2L) is vital • Early retrofit of R-404A is crucial • Leak prevention remains important – proper implementation of rules in the EU F-Gas regulation is key • Compliance with mandatory recovery rules is important • Setting up a good infrastructure for reclaim / recycling is crucial • Safety codes / legislation and training issues must be addressed • The 2018 phase-down step cannot be achieved if everyone waits for bans

Editor's Notes
- Quantities of HFCs placed on the market in the EU must be decreased in the period from 2015 to 2030 by 79%. This is the so-called phase-down.
