4 Evolution of Refrigerant Technology 1800s 1920s 1930s 1950s 1990s TODAY & TOMORROW Industrial Chemicals (Methyl Chloride, Ammonia, CO2, etc.) CFCs (R-12) Chlorine Single Bond High ODP Highest GWP HCFCs (R-22) Less Chlorine Single Bond Lower ODP High GWP HFCs (R-134a) No Chlorine Single Bond No ODP High GWP Industrial Chemicals (CO2, Hydrocarbons, Ammonia) + No ODP Very Low GWP HFOs and HFO Blends (R-1234yf, 1234ze, R-449A, 513A, etc.) No Chlorine Double Bond Selection of Refrigerants for the Future Will Need to Balance Performance (Capacity and Efficiency), Safety and Sustainability, and Total Cost of System Ownership The Current Path of Refrigerants 4

8 The Regulatory Challenge HCFC s are Nearly Gone EPA Final Rule R R-22 consumption allowances will drop ~30% lower than 2017 levels Only 2 cooling seasons remain before R-22 consumption allowances reach 0. R-22 million lbs This also impacts R-22 containing blends such as 402A, 408A, 409A, 401A, etc. Beyond January 1, 2020, R-22 service demand must rely on reclaim or inventory. The Current Path of Refrigerants 8

9 Montreal Protocol Kigali HFC Amendment Global CO2 Emissions HFC Phase-down (CO2 equivalent) Not a Phase-Out Takes effect 2019 when at least 20 member countries ratify Businesses should start planning now for a low-gwp future. Kigali has created a framework for regulatory bodies to address global warming The Current Path of Refrigerants 9

10 Determining Acceptable Refrigerants The Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program is EPA's program to evaluate and regulate substitutes for the ozone-depleting chemicals that are being phased out under the stratospheric ozone protection provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Clean Air Act Section 612(c), authorizes the Agency to identify and publish lists of acceptable and unacceptable substitutes for Class I or Class II ozone-depleting substances. Rules #20 and #21 have regulated many higher GWP HFC s in sectors including Retail Food Refrigeration, Cold Storage Warehouses and Chillers, including: R-507A R-404A R-407A R-134a R-410A The Current Path of Refrigerants 10

11 HFC Regulations US EPA SNAP Program United States July 2016 R- 404A/507 Cannot be used to retrofit the following equipment: Racks Condensing Units* Stand Alone Equip.* Vending Machines* 2018 R- 404A/507 Cannot be used in the following new equipment: Condensing Units* 2020 R- 404A/507, 134a, 407A/C/F, 410A Cannot be used in the following new equipment: Stand Alone (LT)* Stand Alone (MT >2200 Btu/hr.)* 2023 R- 404A/507, 407A, 410A Cannot be used in the following new equipment: Cold Storage Warehouses** 2024 R- 134a, 404A/507, 407C, 410A Cannot be used in the following new equipment: Centrifugal Chillers** Positive Displacement Chillers** 2017 R- 404A/507 Cannot be used in the following new equipment: Racks* 2019 R- 404A/507, 134a,407A/C/F, 410A Cannot be used in the following new equipment: Stand Alone (MT <2200 Btu/hr.)* Vending Machines* 2021 R- 404A/507, 407A/C/F, Cannot be used in the following new equipment: Refrigerated food processing / dispensing** Household Refrigerators & Freezers** * - EPA SNAP Rule 20 ** - EPA SNAP Rule 21 This is a summary of the most commonly used refrigerants. Please consult EPA.gov/SNAP for a full list of unacceptable products. SNAP Rules are in-force unless a mandate is issued by the Court Refrigerants & Regulations: How to Move Your Business Forward 11

12 Recent SNAP News August 8, 2017 September 22, 2017 The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in favor of of Mexichem Fluor Inc. & Arkema vs. the EPA. Chemours, Honeywell, and NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council) appealed the Aug 8 court decision. The court stated the EPA cannot ban HFCs under Section 612 of the Clean Air Act because that provision was designed only to address ozonedepleting substances. The Current Path of Refrigerants 12

13 What it Means EPA SNAP Rules 20 & 21 are still in effect and will remain so until the appeals process is complete. The de-listing of R-404A/507 as previously communicated is continuing. Businesses in the US should factor HFC regulations into their long term strategy. The Current Path of Refrigerants 13

14 What It Means EPA SNAP Rules 20 & 21 are still in effect and will remain so until the appeals process is complete. The de-listing of R-404A/507 as previously communicated is continuing. Businesses in the US should factor HFC regulations into their long term strategy. In reaction to appeals court ruling, a public workshop on Oct. 24 will look at continuing EPA s HFC delistings for stationary refrigeration and air conditioning end uses in California. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will hold a public workshop on October 24 to discuss beginning a rulemaking process to adopt into state regulations the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Rule prohibitions of HFCs in stationary refrigeration and air conditioning end uses. The Current Path of Refrigerants 14

15 What Does This Mean to HVACR Businesses? New & developing regulations focused on HFCs Rate of change may vary depending on region/country, but directionally consistent. Businesses, global or regional, should factor HFC regulations into their long term strategy Stay connected to both refrigerant suppliers & equipment manufacturers to understand options & trade-offs between technology platforms Stay the Course Low GWP Refrigerants are a major part of the future Refrigerants & Regulations: How to Move Your Business Forward 15
