Figaroo.org, a
multi-lingual site launched by EFCTC (European Fluorocarbons Technical
Committee) that stands for F-Gas Regulation Online Observatory, is available
since July 2007. Developed as a kind of permanent virtual workshop
in collaboration with various professional and trade associations using
F-gases, it aims at providing practical help to stakeholders that produce, use
or handle F-gas-based systems and applications.
Now available are sections such as latest news, regulation documents, case
studies and FAQs, which have been contributed by the European Partnership for
Energy and the Environment (EPEE), the European Fluocarbons Technical Committee
(EFCTC), the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry Board (ACRIB), the
Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA) and the British
Refrigeration Association (BRA). Particularly interesting
is a downloadable logbook which has been developed to help those in the
industry comply with the reporting requirements of F-gases rules, reveals the
initiatives press release.
A spokesman for EPEE stated: "The website is still work in progress. However,
with the support of the European Fluorocarbons Technical Committee (EFCTC), the
intention is that it will become an essential tool in ensuring the success of
the F-Gas regulation. It will also support industry's position at the forefront
of the successful containment of F-Gases, producing energy efficient products and
protecting the environment. |
