The F-gas Portal is a central system of the European Commission used to manage regulations on fluorinated gases (F-gases), in particular to reduce the amount of HFCs placed on the market, control imports and exports, and ensure compliance with reporting obligations under Regulation (EU) 2024/573. The platform collects data on companies, their activities, allocated quotas, and authorisations, and enables operations related to these quotas. It does not function as a trading platform, but solely as an administrative and control system.
