## Resource

The Environmental Protection Agency is relaxing restrictions on greenhouse gases used in commercial refrigeration, providing businesses, particularly smaller ones, with cost-effective solutions. This move, framed as providing flexibility, allows businesses to repair existing systems instead of purchasing new ones, reducing financial burdens. The change permits the use of hydrofluorocarbons, up to fourteen hundred times more potent than carbon dioxide, until 2032, extending to sectors like cold storage, semiconductor manufacturing, and refrigerated transportation. Despite this, the EPA remains committed to phasing down these refrigerants in accordance with the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act.
