On September 16, 2014, the White House announced that Obama Administration had partnered with private sector on new commitments and executive actions to reduce emissions of HFCs.
The commitments made would reduce cumulative global consumption of HFCs by the equivalent of 700m metric tons of CO2 through 2025, equivalent to 1.5% of the world’s 2010 greenhouse gas emissions.
