Passed by Congress in 2020 with bipartisan support, the American Innovationand Manufacturing (AIM) Act initiates the phasedown of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) production and consumption in the U.S. by 2036 - authorizing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop regulations for the phasedown of HFCs. The HFC phasedown officially kicked off on January 1, 2022. Allowances will be issued to domestic producers and importers for 2022 and 2023, with additional rule-making to cover 2024 and beyond. Chemours has invested more than one billion dollars in research and development, manufacturing assets, and downstream product and application development on low-GWP, hydrofluoroolefin (HFO), and HFC technologies, and remains committed to the ongoing development needs of customers throughout the HFC phasedown in the U.S. and globally. Our portfolio of products has been specifically developed to meet the changing global regulatory landscape while maintaining or improving performance compared to the products they replace, and to reduce the environmental footprint of specific applications.
During this podcast, Chemours will discuss:
The importance of the phasedown for industry including contractors, technicians, and OEMs.
How to prepare you and your business for the upcoming 2024 HFC phasedown of 30%.
The transition to lower global warming potential refrigerants
Addressing retrofits
New generation A2Ls
