In the current context of persistent drought in the Southwestern regions of Europe (SUDOE area), which are experiencing more and more difficult fire events related to prolonged periods of drought and high winds, research on alternatives that contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is of the highest priority. KET4F-Gas is a European project co-funded by the Interreg Sudoe Programme which aims at reducing the environmental impact of fluorinated gases (F-gases) through the development and implementation of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs). The use of fluorinated gases has drastically increased in recent years, especially in the refrigeration sector, as they are a good substitute for ozone-depleting substances that phased out under the Montreal’s Protocol. Despite being energetically efficient, ozone-friendly and safe for users, with low levels of flammability and toxicity, F-gases are powerful greenhouse gases, with a global warming effect up to 23 000 times greater than carbon dioxide, and their emissions to the atmosphere must be reduced according to the Kyoto’s protocol and the new EU regulation.
