Résumé

While Europe and Australia have been leading in the phase out of fluorinated gases, the United States has been lagging in the development of regulations that will govern the orderly reduction and phase out of F-gases. In the United States, there are two things that are required in order to successfully halt the use of substances such as F-gases: the first is the political will to do so; and the second is the legislative and regulatory process that allows those who have a stake in the outcome—who are generally described as stakeholders—to voice their concerns about how such regulations will affect the area the stakeholders represent. In the case of F-gases, the stakeholders include policy makers, industry interest groups such as air conditioning equipment manufacturers, insulation manufacturers, manufacturers who use aerosols, chemical manufacturers, professional and trade associations such as AHRI, IIAR and ASHRAE, environmental groups such as Greenpeace, and end users of refrigerants and expanding agents. While it is clear that the U.S. government plans to take more action on F-gases beyond the phase out of R-22, it is not clear what the specific actions will be or how soon they will occur. This has left end users with many questions about how they should proceed.
