Glenn Gallagher, from the California Air Resources Board, discussed the curtailment of high-GWP refrigerants and how this will help achieve the State’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) to 1990 levels by 2020. Following this period, reductions of 40% by 2030, and 80% by 2050, are expected. Gallagher went on to outline the dominant sources of HFCs in California, and summarised the reduction measures proposed, including banning sales of “very-high GWP refrigerants” with GWP 2500 or greater by 2020, 150 for stationary refrigeration by 2021, and GWP 750 or greater for stationary AC by 2022.
