The new resource is designed to help navigate regulation changes from the AIM Act
The North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC), an environmental nonprofit working to advance climate-friendly natural refrigerants in supermarkets, has published a free refrigerant transition hub to help navigate regulation changes implemented by the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act. Enacted in 2020, the AIM Act authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to phase down HFC refrigerant greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2036.
“HFC regulations from the AIM Act and several states are pressuring [food] retailers to transition to climate-friendly refrigerants,” said Danielle Wright, executive director of NASRC. “Retailers need neutral information to help them make the right decisions. NASRC works in partnership with the supermarket industry, so we are uniquely positioned to identify the gaps in available resources.”
