Diversified CPC International Urges EPA to Level Playing Field
Urges to level field for U.S. manufacturers of products with hydrofluorocarbons
CHANNAHON, Ill. — Diversified CPC International (DCPC) is urging the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to empower domestic manufacturers of products with hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) to fairly compete with foreign manufacturers during the HFC phasedown, which goes into effect January 1, 2022.
The phasedown is part of the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act, which was enacted in December 2020 to reduce HFC production and consumption by 85% over the next 15 years through an allowance and trading program. However, the baseline for the allowance structure does not include imported products containing HFCs (IPC). A final rule establishing the trading system is expected before the end of September.
