As the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) addresses the effects of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), national production and consumption volumes are required to phasedown 85% by 2036. This process is detailed in the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act of 2020 in keeping with the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, a United Nations treaty signed by the United States. The act authorizes the EPA to address the environmental effects of HFCs by pursuing:
- A phasedown of the production and consumption of HFCs
- Maximized reclamation and minimized release from equipment
- The transition from HFCs to next generation technologies through sector-based restrictions
HFC Engagements:
Offered for the following regulated parties:
- Producers, importers and exporters of HFCs
- Companies issued application specific allowances by EPA
- Reclaimers and fire suppressant recyclers of HFCs
