We can thank the EU for the accelerated time scale to implement the R22 ban and replace this gas with high GWP refrigerants only for these to now require replacement.
In the article above A major UK gas processing plant has been granted an exemption to continue using up to 35,100kg of reclaimed R22 refrigerant until July 2016.
So the questions are now:
did they not jump fast enough to put a high GWP refrigerant in place?
did they not think the replacements available at the time were acceptable?
Was EU time line unrealistic?
