The EU is working to reduce CO2 emissions while also trying to regulate other greenhouse gases that warm the planet, such as methane, fluorinated gases (also known as F-gases) and ozone-depleting substances. They are present in the atmosphere in smaller quantities than CO2 but can have a significant warming effect. MEPs call for an ambitious reduction in emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances. They support the Commission’s proposal to increase the use of alternatives to fluorinated greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances where possible, or to introduce measures to reduce their leakage and emissions during production or use. Parliament adopted its position on reducing emissions of fluorinated gases and ozone-depleting substances during its March 2023 plenary session and is ready to negotiate with EU governments.
