AHRI Applauds Legislation Promoting Innovation for New, American-Made Refrigerant Technologies
ARLINGTON, Va. — The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) today expressed its strong support for bipartisan legislation designed to boost American manufacturing and capture a larger share of the rapidly growing global markets for refrigeration and air conditioning products and equipment.
Introduced by Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.), The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2019 would authorize the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a national phasedown schedule for a group of refrigerants known as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) because of their high global warming potential.
