Only about a couple of dozen factories in China are responsible for producing two-thirds of the world’s HCFC-22. So climate advocates rejoiced when Beijing signed onto the Kigali Amendment to the ...

On paper, the global annual emissions of HFC-23 were only 2,000 tons in 2020 but the actual global emissions, shown in numerous studies, uncover a different picture.

HFC-23 emissions from chemical plants in eastern China and elsewhere likely violate an international climate agreement despite readily available pollution controls. Advocates are pressing for action.

EPA currently requires producers to submit a one-time report, documenting any hazardous air pollutants (HAP), ozone-depleting substances (ODS) or HFC emissions coming from their production line.

CARB has adopted various regulations to reduce HFC emissions, such as the Refrigerant Management Program and GWP prohibitions on refrigeration, air conditioning equipment, and other end-use sectors ...

Emissions reductions have yet to be reported from China, and it remains to be seen if this regulatory revision leads to tangible results, especially in lowering emissions of HFC-23, whose climate ...

Researchers from Empa, the University of Bristol and the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) have investigated the emissions of the potent greenhouse gas HFC-23 from the ...

As an alternative to diesel power, HFC offers no fossil fuel combustion, as the HFC process is chemical. There are no hydrocarbon emissions (particulate matter, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxides ...

To seize greater emissions reductions for the climate and to avoid higher refrigerant costs for systems at a time of decreasing HFC supply, it’s a wise business decision for Kroger to start its ...

HFC emissions are a major contributor to greenhouse gases, state and federal regulators said. Business groups are lobbying hard against the proposal, a decision on which is expected within weeks.
