The purpose of this order is to regulate emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), which are potent greenhouse gases contributing to climate change.
The requirements outlined in the order include setting limits on the production, import, and sale of products containing these gases, as well as regulating their use and disposal to minimize emissions. It also mandates reporting obligations for businesses dealing with these gases, requiring them to submit data on their emissions to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).
This order applies to businesses, industries, and organizations involved in the production, importation, sale, and use of products containing HFCs, PFCs, and SF6 within Scotland. Compliance with the order is essential for these entities to contribute towards Scotland's climate change mitigation efforts and its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The evidence requirements of The Climate Change (Additional Greenhouse Gas) (Scotland) Order 2015 are designed to ensure compliance with regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly focusing on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
