Join GreenChill for a webinar on April 12, 2023 from 4 – 5 PM Eastern
Presenters from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will provide an overview of subsection (h). Subsection (h) authorizes EPA to establish regulations to control, where appropriate, practices, processes, or activities regarding the servicing, repair, disposal, or installation of equipment, for purposes of maximizing the reclamation and minimizing the release of certain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) from equipment and ensuring the safety of technicians and consumers.
The AIM Act authorizes EPA to address hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in three main ways: phasing down HFC production and consumption, promulgating certain regulations for the purposes of maximizing reclamation and minimizing releases of HFCs and their substitutes from equipment, and facilitating the transition to next-generation technologies through sector-based restrictions.
Among other provisions, subsection (h) authorizes EPA to establish certain requirements for management of certain HFCs and their substitutes. Specifically, subsection (h) directs the Agency to establish regulations to control, where appropriate, practices, processes, or activities regarding the servicing, repair, disposal, or installation of equipment, for purposes of maximizing the reclamation and minimizing the release of certain HFCs from equipment and ensuring the safety of technicians and consumers.
Subsection (h) also provides for the Agency to consider options to increase opportunities for reclaiming HFCs used as refrigerants and potential approaches to coordinate regulations carrying out subsection (h) of the AIM Act with similar EPA regulations, such as the refrigerant management program established under Title VI of the Clean Air Act. This is an opportunity for GreenChill Partners and others to learn more about this section of the AIM Act.
