I wrote the FROSTlines article, “Pressure on HFCs Continues in Europe,” because I want our readers within the refrigeration industry to be aware of what’s being talked about in Europe, especially from a regulatory standpoint.
There is talk of a phaseout of virgin HFC refrigerant production rather than a phasedown. What little talk I’ve heard about the future of HFCs before is that should they be subject to any production curbs, they would not be totally phased out as were CFCs and are HCFCs.
