GHGs include: CO2, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride - the latter 3 are known as
fluorinated greenhouse gases.
The European Union is committed to control of
fluorinated greenhouse gas (F gas) emissions, as part of the Kyoto Protocol.
The EU Regulation on
fluorinated greenhouse gases requires the refrigeration and air conditioning sectors to phase out the use of refrigerant gases with a high global warming potential by 2030.

fluorinated gas that is a
greenhouse gas (except for nitrogen trifluoride), or any combination thereof, produced or imported by such covered entity during the previous calendar year for sale or distribution in interstate commerce.
Showing that it is possible to cut
greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and energy usage will support the implementation of new standards and regulations on
fluorinated gases.
«(C) the term «conversionary use» means the conversion during research or manufacturing of a
fluorinated gas into another
greenhouse gas or set of gases with a lower carbon dioxide equivalent value.
AM: HFCs are man - made
fluorinated chemicals that do not deplete the ozone layer but are potent
greenhouse gases.

Naturally occurring
greenhouse gases (not
fluorinated gases) are good in naturally occurring amounts; it's when people start contributing excessive amounts of them that
greenhouse gases become a problem.
Like other long - lived
greenhouse gases, most
fluorinated gases are well - mixed in the atmosphere, spreading around the world after they are emitted.
Unlike many other
greenhouse gases,
fluorinated gases have no natural sources and only come from human - related activities.
Many
fluorinated gases have very high global warming potentials (GWPs) relative to other
greenhouse gases, so small atmospheric concentrations can have proportionately large effects on global temperatures.
