1.6. Fluorinated gases including hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs): HFCs are, together with perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), a fluorinated greenhouse gas (F-gas). F-gases are powerful greenhouse gases, with a global warming effect up to 23,000 times greater than carbon dioxide (CO2). HFCs are the most relevant F-gases from a climate perspective. As a signatory of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, the UK is committed to reduce our consumption of HFCs and to licence and report on them annually. Reducing emissions from F-gases is a part of UK's effort to implement the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Companies must have a prior valid licence registration to import and export F-gases.

In addition, for import of bulk hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) it is a requirement that the quantity of HFCs placed on the market are covered by quota on an annual basis. (...)
