AHRI Applauds Legislation Promoting Innovation for Refrigerant Technologies
Law would promote new, American-made tech
ARLINGTON, Va. – The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) expressed its strong support for bipartisan legislation designed to boost American manufacturing and capture a larger share of the rapidly growing global markets for refrigeration and air conditioning products and equipment.
Introduced on October 30 by Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.), The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2019 would authorize the Environmental Protection Agency to establish a national phase down schedule for a group of refrigerants known as hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, because of their high global warming potential.
