NGOs don’t think it goes far enough in rolling back HFCs, while trade groups fear it is too ambitious and will impair heat pump deployment
Seven organizations support affordable renewable, non-emitting solutions as a way to decarbonize heating and cooling.
Since January 1, the Interagency Task Force has stopped shipments of HFCs equal to approximately 530,000 metric tons of CO2e.
The European Commission (EC) announced plans on February 2 to develop a new standard for the requirements and risk-analysis process for refrigerating systems that use flammable refrigerants for the transport of temperature-sensitive goods by road.
