University of Massachusetts internet policy expert Ethan Zuckerman said it would be hard to gauge any potential impact of the court’s ruling on existing tech regulation. That's partly because "there’s just not that much tech regulation to undo," he said. ...
particularly concerning the use of refrigerants and coolants. These changes are aimed at reducing the environmental impact of cooling systems by phasing out high global-warming potential (GWP) refrigerants and promoting more eco-friendly alternatives. For HVAC manufacturers...
refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Originally, the refrigerant leak limits only applied to ozone depleting refrigerants, but were extended in 2016 under the Obama administration to cover HFCs as well, due to their global warming potential. The rules were scheduled to take effect on January ...
As a naturally occurring and climate-friendly refrigerant, R-600a has no ozone depletion potential and boasts a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating. It requires less work to be done by the unit’s condenser, which reduces energy usage by 6.5 percent and makes the refrigerator quieter th...
, technical challenges and regulation. The companies have come a long way. They actively promote a shift in point-of-sale cooling technology toward safe, reliable, energy-efficient and cost-effective natural refrigerants with low or zero global warming potential and zero ozone depleting potential....
EPA Acting Assistant Administrator for Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. “To deliver on this commitment, we’ve focused on actions with the highest potential to improve compliance and protect communities. Coming off a challenging few years, these 2021 results make clear that rigorous enforcement...
In the leaked document, the Trump administration argues that repealing the Clean Power Plan could spare an estimated $33 billion in compliance costs in 2030, arguing that the Obama administration overstated the rule's potential health benefits. ...
Increasing atmospheric N2O concentrations have been linked to depletion of stratospheric ozone (O3) and to global-climate warming. The combustion of fossil fuels has been identified as a potential major anthropogenic source of N2O. The workshop had two goals: (1) to exchange information among ...
