                                Globally, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are potent greenhouse gases with a warming effect thousands of times greater than CO2. In Europe, these compounds are primarily referred to under the umbrella term of 'fluorinated gases' or 'F-gases', as regulated by the comprehensive EU F-Gas Regulation.
