- R22 Refrigerant Gas Will Become Drastically More Expensive In 2010
By: Daniel Stouffer | - R22 refrigerant gas is one of the guilty parties when it comes to harming the environment even though it is vital to our economy, society, and safety of our ice cream. That's why the United States and many other countries around the world have joined together in an effort to convert usage of R22 refrigerant in commercial facilities to more environmentally friendly alternatives.
Among the refrigerants approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in commercial facil ...

- Epa To Mandate Carbon (co2) Emissions Tracking And Reporting
By: Daniel Stouffer | - Mandatory carbon (CO2) emissions reporting is more important than ever as the United States works with facilities to reduce substances known to adversely affect air quality, the climate, and lead to global warming. Most of the known matter that is destroying the earth's ozone layer and contributing to global warming is derived from manmade compounds and chemicals with high global warming potential (GWP) and commonly known as greenhouse gases (GHGs).
Around the country a comprehens ...

- How To Track Fugitive Emissions (i.e. Refrigerant Gases)
By: Daniel Stouffer | - The United States and a host of other foreign countries are focusing on fugitive emission tracking for certain industries. The goal is to identify the amount of substances that are emitted into the atmosphere when a refrigerant gas leak occurs. This will give government officials at the EPA a better understanding of the amount of greenhouse gases harming the environment each year and contributing to global warming due to the ineffective management of refrigerant gases.
Fugitive em ...

- How The Climate Registry Will Impact Your Organization
By: Daniel Stouffer | - The Climate Registry Protocol was written in preparation of mandatory monitoring and tracking or mobile (vehicle emissions), stationary (electricity production), and fugitive emissions (refrigerant gases). These possible sources of emissions are defined below as noted in The Climate Registry, the ISO standards, the EPA protocols, and the World Resource Institute requirements.
The Climate Registry was published in draft form as early as May, 2007. It documents and outlines the requ ...

- Ozone Destruction, Refrigerant Gases, And Carbon Emissions: What They All Have In Common
By: Daniel Stouffer | - Since the causes of ozone layer depletion were identified, solutions were put into place to reduce or eliminate their usage. The U.S. Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocols address the problem internationally. The goal of these treaties is to stop the damage to the ozone layer by phasing out known contributors.
Although there are numerous causes of ozone layer depletion, chloroflurocarbons have been identified as being the most damaging. These gases are used in many different in ...

- California Air Resources Board (carb) Places Higher Restrictions On Air Pollution
By: Daniel Stouffer | - The California Air Resource Board has many goals, including the control of air pollution. As it strives to lower the greenhouse gas levels and reduce dangerous chemical levels in everyday goods, CARB is trying to make sure that consumers enjoy better air quality. New measures are also in place to crack down on refrigerant gas management.
Refrigerant gases can contribute to the major problem of global warming. Refrigerant gases, such as R-22, are contained in AC, HVAC, or more comm ...

- Refrigerant Leaks Cost A Business Money, Damage The Environment, And Have Carbon Consequences
By: Daniel Stouffer | - In the 1970s, scientists discovered that certain refrigerants such as Freon and many others in the HCFC category could cause spontaneous, chemical reactions and destroy the delicate ozone layer protecting Earth´s atmosphere. Developments in mandatory refrigerant usage and new regulations were passed to restrict the methods of manufacturing and the ways that refrigerants could be used in common AC or HVAC systems. Refrigerant gases could no longer be deliberately released to escape or vented ...
