| Comment |
The US EPA currently has a proposed rule to delist HFC's under review at the Office of Management and Budget. I encourage the California ARB to wait until this rule is published as a final rule and then review the outcome. At this time commercial refrigeration manufacturers are facing increased regulatory burden at the federal level to make products more efficient as well as environmentally safe. Technology and testing are required to obtain these goals. CO2, mentioned on the CARB website, is not an option for all applications and while reducing GWP it may also increase energy consumption. Manufacturers are working with suppliers to develop alternatives to the existing refrigerants. |
