At CGA we have begun research exploring the idea that there is an opportunity to expand the natural gas delivery system to offer an affordable, innovative, and more efficient energy choice for customers, communities, and industry currently located off the existing distribution system in more remote areas in Canada's north using CNG, compressed natural gas, and LNG, liquid natural gas.

(20) In order to take technological progress and the development of markets affected by this Regulation into account, and to ensure compliance with international agreements, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union should be delegated to the Commission with regard to the following: specifying requirements for standard leakage checks; extending the list of equipment subject to mandatory recovery of fluorinated greenhouse gases; specifying minimum requirements and the conditions for the mutual recognition of training programmes for persons who install, maintain, repair or decommission the equipment and who check leaks and recover fluorinated greenhouse gases, and for the c ...[+++]ertification of those persons and of companies that perform such tasks; amending labelling requirements; prohibiting the placing on the market of more products and equipment that contain or rely on fluorinated greenhouse gases; amending the maximum quantities of hydrofluorocarbons that may be placed on the market and exempting the supply of hydrofluorocarbons for specific critical uses from the quota requirement for health and safety reasons; determining the rules for recalculating reference values for the placing on the market of hydrofluorocarbons by individual undertakings and amending or supplementing the mechanism for the allocation of quotas; revising the thresholds for reporting requirements; establishing requirements for the reporting systems on emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases and the use of the data on emissions collected by the Member States; including other substances with a significant global warming potential in the lists of substances covered by this Regulation and updating the lists on the basis of new scientific findings, in particular the global warming potential of the substances listed in the annexes to the Regulation.

‘maintenance or servicing’ means all activities, excluding recovery in accordance with Article 8 and leak checks in accordance with Article 4 and point (b) of Article 10(1) of this Regulation, that entail breaking into the circuits containing or designed to contain fluorinated greenhouse gases, in particular supplying the system with fluorinated greenhouse gases, removing one or more pieces of circuit or equipment, reassembling two or more pieces of circuit or equipment, as well as repairing leaks;

For the purposes of this paragraph, "checking for leakage" means that the equipment or system is examined for leakage using direct measuring methods – focusing on those parts of the system likely to leak – or using indirect measuring methods – focusing on the amount of fluorinated greenhouse gas contained in the system.

For the purposes of this paragraph, “controls for leakage” means that the equipment or system is examined for leakage using direct measuring methods – focusing on those parts of the system likely to leak – or using indirect measuring methods – focusing on the amount of fluorinated greenhouse gas contained in the system.

4 . Subject to paragraph 5 , the owner shall ensure that stationary - and mobile, with the exception of the systems referred to in Article 10 - refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat-pump equipment and fire protection systems containing fluorinated greenhouse gases, except equipment and systems exclusively for personal use, shall be inspected for leakage after maintenance and on a regular basis according to the following schedule:
