Heat pumps are highly energy-efficient and low-carbon heating equipment that play a key role in achieving carbon neutrality in the building sector. Their climate performance can however still be improved by using refrigerants with a lower Global Warming Potential than those that are currently used.

Following this new regulation, only refrigerants with very low direct greenhouse effects may be placed on the market.
