AHRI, ACCA Express Support For Senate HFC Legislation
HVACR groups anxious for a federal solution for refrigerant phasedown
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 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 (EPA) to establish a national phase down schedule for HFCs, because of their high global warming potential.
