AHRI voices support for American Innovation and Manufacturing Act
The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute has come out in support of the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2018. The bill was introduced by Senators John Kennedy (R-LA), Tom Carper (D-DE), and Chris Coons (D-DE).
According to AHRI, the organization has a keen interest in ensuring that the coming global phase down of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants is accomplished in a smooth, orderly manner with as little impact on manufacturers and consumers as possible. The institute also said the bill will help accomplish that goal by establishing a pathway for U.S. implementation of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol that establishes a framework for the global phase down.
