ShareCalifornia could ban the sale of high-GWP HFCs by 2020
The proposal seeks emission reductions to help California meet its 2030 greenhouse gas reduction targets.
California could ban refrigerants with a GWP greater than 150 in all new non-residential refrigeration systems by 2020.
The proposal seeks emission reductions to help California meet its 2030 greenhouse gas reduction targets.
California is considering offering financial incentives for those moving to new, low-GWP commercial refrigeration systems.
Key measures also include:
. a ban on the sale of all virgin HFC refrigerants with a GWP above 2,500 beginning in 2020;
. a ban on new stationary refrigeration equipment using HFCs with a GWP of 150 or more, beginning in 2020 for non-residential and in 2021 for residential refrigerator-freezers;
. a ban on new air-conditioning equipment using HFCs with GWPs of 750 or above starting in 2021,
and the potential for an independent California HFC phase-down schedule, if a global agreement is not reached this year.
