Opinions on the proposal itself The proposal is confusing in terms of transportation - Table 8 suggests derogation of engine seals, gaskets and O-rings, while Table 9 only allows derogations for safety critical items.

Joint Nordic PFAS Consultation response Submitted by Finnish Energy Etelranta 10 00130 Helsinki, Finland Norwegian District Heating Association Middelthunsgate 27 0307 Oslo, Norway Swedenergy Olof Palmes gata 31 111 22 Stockholm, Sweden Sector concerned in this document: energy sector/ heat pump operators / district heating and cooling sector, Sub-uses concerned: Refrigeration, Applications of fluorinated gases, Air Conditioning and heat pumps, Solvents Content Key messages .......................................................................................................................................... 2 Introduction............................................................................................................................................. 4 District heating and cooling in the Nordics and the effects of a potential PFAS ban ............................. 4 The PFAS ban - Good intentions but based on the wrong assumptions ................................................ 6 Health and Safety .................................................................................................................................... 7 Derogation periods.................................................................................................................................. 8 Existing installations ............................................................................................................................ 8 New Installations ................................................................................................................................. 8 Time-unlimited derogation due to safety regulations ........................................................................ 9 Business and socio-economic consequences associated with the lifetime of large heat pump systems ............................................................................................................................................................... 10 How the ban will affect EU policy objectives ........................................................................................ 11 Annexes explained................................................................................................................................. 12 1 Key messages The Nordic District Heating and Energy Associations - Oppose the timeline for a ban on PFAS classified F-gases that are used in district heating and cooling, as there is currently no technological or economical viable dropin alternative available on the market, able to deliver near 100% availability and the temperature ranges needed in most Nordic district heating networks. - Underline that an immediate ban on the usage of PFAS classified F-gases in existing and new installations, could lead to a switch away from heat pumps in district heating and cooling networks towards less efficient electric and fossil boilers, as well as making it harder to make use of excess heat sources in society, with the accompanied negative socio-economic, environmental and climate effects this would have.
