The overall aim of the changes is to limit the release of climate gases from Denmark and to promote the use of more climate-friendly refrigerants. This is achieved by modifying the calculation basis for the dimensioning of refrigeration systems, etc. so that the limit is changed from being fixed in kg to a limit corresponding to a given amount of CO2 equivalents. The change increases the flexibility of companies in the design of the plants concerned, while at the same time having a positive impact on the climate. In other words, if a more climate-friendly refrigerant is used, a system can be dimensioned to be larger.

With the proposed amendment, the applicable derogation provided for in point 4 of Annex 1 shall be limited to heat pumps not covered by point 2, refrigeration equipment, air conditioning system (comfort cooling) and dehumidifiers with charges of between 0.15 kg and 10 kg. The maximum charge limit for these product categories will therefore in future be 5 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Delete the minimum limit of 0.15 kg.
