Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC)

Issue Overview

NAFEM members who manufacture or sell commercial refrigeration equipment in Canada would be required to reduce the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), if proposed Environment Canada (EC) regulations are approved. Doing so could necessitate the use of alternate, lower Global Warning Potential (GWP) refrigerants and blowing agents.
