Understanding Allocations: EPA’s Ruling on the Phasedown of Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)

As of January 1, 2022, the EPA’s ruling on the hydrofluorocarbons or HFC phasedown went into effect. This ruling addresses the production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) maximizing reclamation and minimizing releases from equipment while facilitating the transition to next-generation technologies through an allocation process. The American Manufacturing and Innovation Act (AIM) mandated 85% reduction by 2036 and now, as ruling period begins, companies are racing to comply with the regulation.
