EPA is proposing to prohibit use of certain chemicals that significantly contribute to climate change where safer, more climate-friendly alternatives exist. Proposed action would change status of certain high-global warming potential HFCs that were previously listed as acceptable under SNAP Program to be unacceptable in specific end-uses. It is estimated to reduce greenhouse gases by up to 42 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2020. This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:
