So it's official.

The developed countries will now ban HFC's by 2020.

R404a is so regulated as to be removed from systems by
then but this is an actual ban. The new HFO's are about 10 times dearer
at the moment so that leaves the blends, HC's, C02 and Ammonia.

Times are a changing, what with the EU changing the way the F-gas
qualification is to be regulated and delivered in 2017 and now this
new ban, don't be suprised if within the next 18 months they don't
bring out the 2080 refrigerant handling qualification.

I've been saying since 2014 that they will change it (and I've been wrong up to now)
but I bet by next year they will anounce changes that come into effect
either in 2017 or 2018.

You read it here first
