(MENAFN- QNA) United States Environment Protection Agency (EPA) has announced three new actions to achieve smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy announced the measures to reduce HFC emissions and potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning at a roundtable gathering of private and public sector leaders at the White House.
The meeting builds on President Barack Obama's Climate Action Plan.
The first measure is listing additional fluorinated and non-fluorinated chemicals as acceptable alternatives in a variety of industry applications.
Second identifying refrigerant management options to reduce HFC emissions from air conditioning and refrigeration equipment and third, organizing with stakeholder engagement a series of sector-specific workshops on seeking transitions away from high global warming potential HFCs.
At the roundtable gathering, GreenChill Partners Target and Hillphoenix announced new commitments and technologies to curb potent greenhouse gases.
