CONYERS, Ga. - Hill Phoenix Inc., a Dover Co., has joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) new GreenChill Advanced Refrigeration Partnership, an initiative through which companies pledge to go above and beyond regulatory requirements in protecting the ozone layer and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The EPA estimates that widespread adoption of best practices, improved equipment design and service, and advanced refrigeration technologies could reduce refrigerant emissions by 1 million metric tons of carbon equivalent per year, which is the equivalent of taking 800,000 automobiles off the road. It could also save over $12 million in operating expenses.
