EPA Gives Cold Chain Operators Until 2032 on Refrigerants
Original: EPA Refrigerant Relief Gives Cold Chain Operators Until 2032
The US Environmental Protection Agency has granted refrigerant relief to cold chain operators, extending compliance deadlines to 2032. The decision affects companies running refrigerated storage and transport, which face high costs in phasing out hydrofluorocarbons under federal climate rules. Industry observers say the extra time eases near-term pressure on food and pharmaceutical logistics, while environmental groups question the delay in cutting potent greenhouse gases.
Why now: The EPA's extension of refrigerant compliance deadlines directly affects cold chain companies' investment and transition plans.
