Rule will ban the use of certain HFCs in refrigeration and a/c equipment
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo recently announced that new regulations have been finalized to significantly reduce the use of HFCs in New York State. The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) regulations, which were finalized in late September, will adopt Rules 20 and 21 from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program.
"With these nation-leading actions, New York will help drive manufacturers to adopt better, cleaner products, and pioneer clean energy solutions that not only protect our health and our precious natural resources, but also grow our economy,” said Governor Cuomo.
