How to Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHGs) Emissions via Effective Refrigerant Gas Tracking
This article explains, at a high-level, a few of the emerging carbon emissions reporting protocols. There are dozens CO2 reporting requirements under development Worldwide. As of early 2009, The Climate Registry’s reporting protocol is leading the way in the United States. The EPA, ISO 14064, and World Resources Institute also have documented carbon emissions reporting protocols worth reviewing.
California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32): Early Actions for Refrigerant Gas Management
The following explains the California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32) at summary level with a short introduction to the Stationary Equipment Refrigerant Management Program to be integrated into the AB 32 legislation in 2009. Communicated here is information related to existing and emerging refrigerant gas management, monitoring, tracking, and reporting legislation to be effective in 2010. As with all pending legislation, the refrigerant management is subject to change.
Refrigerant Gas Management: Why Organizations with AC/HVAC Systems Must Care
The article describes refrigerant gases, the different types of refrigerants, and their categories such as HCFCs, CFCs, and PFCs. Further explained is where refrigerant gases come from, why they are used in AC & HVAC equipment, and how existing United States and European regulations require detailed monitoring and reporting of refrigerant gas usage, leaks, and disposal.
Refrigerant Gases (R-22 HCFCs): Understanding the Government Regulations
The following article defines refrigerant gases (i.e. the different refrigerant types and the categories of HCFCs, CFCs, PFCs), where they come from, why they are used, and how existing United States and European regulations require detailed monitoring and reporting of refrigerant usage, purchase and destruction, and service tracking.
