A Global Conversation
About Refrigerant
Regulations, Reductions
Societal demands to control climate change have driven and continue to drive the
development of new regulatory policies to restrict and lower the direct global warming
potential (GWP) impact of fl uorocarbons (F-gases). In the United States, the development
of new regulations is beginning as a result of the American Innovation and
Manufacturing (AIM) Act that Congress passed in December 2020. On April 30, 2021,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in accordance with the AIM Act,
issued a proposed rule to reduce HFC production and consumption.
ASHRAE Journal conducted a roundtable discussion led
by Steve Kujak, Member ASHRAE, director of next generation
refrigerant research, Trane Technologies, and chair
of SSPC 34, Designation and Safety Classifi cation of Refrigerants.
Topics cover future HFC phasedown impacts on the U.S.
and a perspective of lessons learned and what impacts
may result from an existing F-gas reduction process in
Europe. They also discuss potential global impacts from
misalignment between developed and developing countries'
individual phasedown goals and plans.

United States Reduction of HFC Production & Consumption
U.S. President Joe Biden has directed the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to develop rules to comply with an HFC
phasedown per the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol.
When will the U.S. EPA have a proposed rule for review?
David Doniger and Christina Theodoridi: By law,
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
required to publish a fi nal rule no later than 270 days
after the date of enactment of the AIM Act (which was
in December 2020). EPA's proposed allocation rule
