ANNEX V Production rights for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market

(c) 

for the period 1 January 2034 to 31 December 2035, 20 % of the annual average of its production in 2011-2013;

for the period 1 January 2036 and thereafter, 15 % of the annual average of its production in 2011-2013.

ANNEX VI Method of calculating the GWP referred to in Article 3, point (1), of a mixture




ANNEX VI

Method of calculating the GWP referred to in Article 3, point (1), of a mixture

The GWP of a mixture is calculated as a weighted average, derived from the sum of the weight fractions of the individual substances multiplied by their GWP, unless otherwise specified, including substances that are not fluorinated greenhouse gases.

Σ (Substance × % × GWP) + (Substance Y % × GWP) + … (Substance N % × GWP), where % is the contribution by weight with a weight tolerance of +/– 1 %.

For example: applying the formula to a mixture of gases consisting of 60 % dimethyl ether, 10 % HFC-152a and 30 % isobutane:

Σ (60 % × 1) + (10 % × 124) + (30 % × 0)
Total GWP = 13,0

The GWP of the following non-fluorinated substances are used to calculate the GWP of mixtures. For other substances not listed in this annex a default value of 0 applies. Only emissible components that fulfil broadly the same function are relevant for the calculation of the GWP.

ANNEX VII Maximum quantities and calculation of reference values and quota for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market referred to in Article 17




ANNEX VII

Maximum quantities and calculation of reference values and quota for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market referred to in Article 17

(1) The maximum amount of hydrofluorocarbons allowed to be placed on the Union market in a given year is as follows:



Years

Maximum Quantity in tonnes CO2 equivalent

2025 – 2026

42 874 410

2027 – 2029

21 665 691

2030 – 2032

9 132 097

2033 – 2035

8 445 713

2036 – 2038

6 782 265

2039 – 2041

6 136 732

2042 – 2044

5 491 199

2045 – 2047

4 845 666

2048 – 2049

4 200 133

2050 onwards

0

(2) The 2015 base-value for the maximum quantity is set to be: 176 700 479 tonnes CO2 equivalent.

(3) Reference values and quota for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market referred to in Articles 16 and 17 shall be calculated as the aggregated quantities of all hydrofluorocarbons, expressed in tonne(s) of CO2 equivalent rounded to the nearest tonne.

(4) Each producer and importer shall receive reference values referred to in Article 17(1), calculated as follows:

(a) 

a reference value for placing hydrofluorocarbons on the market based on the annual average of the quantities of hydrofluorocarbons lawfully placed on the market from 1 January 2015 as reported under Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 and under Article 26 of this Regulation for the years available, and taking transfers received into consideration, not including quantities of hydrofluorocarbons for the usages referred to in Article 26(5) of this Regulation during the same period, on the basis of available data;

(b) 

in addition, for producers and importers that have reported the placing on the market of hydrofluorocarbons for the usage referred to in Article 26(5), second subparagraph, of this Regulation, a reference value based on the annual average of the quantities of those hydrofluorocarbons for such usage lawfully placed on the market from 1 January 2020 as reported under Article 19 of Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 and of Article 26 of this Regulation for the years available, on the basis of available data.

ANNEX VIII Allocation mechanism referred to in Article 17




ANNEX VIII

Allocation mechanism referred to in Article 17

(1) Determination of the quantity to be allocated to undertakings for which reference values have been established under Article 17(1).

Each undertaking for which reference values have been established receives a quota, which is calculated as follows:

(a) 

a quota corresponding to 89 % of the reference value referred to in Annex VII, point 4(a), multiplied by the maximum quantity for the year for which the quota is allocated, divided by the base value of 176 700 479 tonnes CO2 equivalent ( 11 ); and

(b) 

where relevant, a quota corresponding to the reference value referred to in Annex VII, point 4(b). From 2027, such a quota is obtained by multiplying the reference value with a factor of 0,85. From 2030, such a quota corresponds to the reference value multiplied by the maximum quantity for the year for which the quota is allocated divided by the maximum quantity for the year 2025.

Where, after allocating the full amount of quota as referred to in the second subparagraph, the maximum quantity is exceeded, all quota will be reduced proportionally.

(2) Determination of the quota to be allocated to undertakings that have submitted a declaration pursuant to Article 17(3).

The total sum of the quota allocated under point 1 is subtracted from the maximum quantity for the given year set out in Annex VII to determine the reserve amount to be allocated to undertakings, which have submitted a declaration under Article 17(3).

Each undertaking receives an allocation corresponding to a pro-rata share of the reserve.

The pro-rata share is calculated by dividing 100 by the number of undertakings that have submitted a declaration.

(3) Penalties established in accordance with Article 31 are taken into account in the calculations referred to above.
