I read the article “Point of no return” (BSj 10/06) about the F-gas ban with interest.

Novenco is currently working with a Danish oil company, and our 700 kW and 400 kW R407 C direct expansion fresh air cooling plant for an 80-man living quarters has just been stopped. The Danish have banned all new HFC plants over 10 kg from January 2007.

So what the article calls “the nightmare scenario” is already happening in Denmark!
