F-Gas Support is a Government funded team set up to help organisations understand their obligations under the EU Fluorinated greenhouse gases (F gases) and Ozone Regulations. F-Gas Support will also be helping Regulators promote compliance with these important environmental Regulations. F-Gas Support is being run on behalf of Defra and the devolved administrations with full coverage across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the marine area (as defined in the F gas Regulations).
What will F-Gas Support be doing to help with compliance?
F-Gas Support will be working proactively with affected organisations to provide information and guidance. F-Gas Support will help explain the obligations and provide practical advice about compliance. Information will be available from various sources including a Telephone Help Line and a dedicated F-Gas Support web site.
