EPA Approves Low-GWP Refrigerants to further climate protection.
2015-03-09 13:31:08| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
After receiving input from industry, environmental groups, and others, EPA is increasing available options for refrigerants, which offer improved climate protection without harming ozone layer, for use in refrigeration and air conditioning equipment in U.S. Approved substitutes have global warming potential (GWP) ratings from 3–675 and can replace older compounds with GWP from 1,400–4,000. All climate-friendly alternatives, except HFC-32, are exempt from Clean Air Act venting prohibition.

Poor nations urged to leapfrog harmful HFC refrigerants
2014-10-13 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
SciDevNet: Efforts to rid the world of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), a group of powerful greenhouse gases mainly used as refrigerants, may depend on developing nations being able to leapfrog these chemicals to less harmful alternatives, an environmental group has warned. HFCs were introduced following the 1989 Montreal Protocol as a replacement for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which deplete the ozone layer, part of the atmosphere that helps to absorb harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. But while HFCs...
