La Californie pourrait interdire la vente des HFC à GWP élevé à partir de 2020

Les mesures proposées incluent aussi une interdiction de la vente d'équipements frigorifiques fixes utilisant des HFC dont le GWP est supérieur à 150 à partir de 2020 pour les réfrigérateurs-congélateurs (hors applications domestiques pour lesquelles l'échéance est 2021).
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.
