  2. Reducing HFCs

2022 HFC Data Hub

The American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act directs EPA to phase down production and consumption of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in the United States by 85 percent from baseline levels by 2036. This phasedown is consistent with the U.S. schedule under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. To promote data transparency and accountability, this page includes information on the following:

  • Production and Calculated Consumption
  • HFC Allowance Allocations and Expenditures
  • HFC End-of-Year Inventory

HFC Production and Calculated Consumption

Starting January 1, 2022, the amount of HFC production and consumption allowed in the United States was limited through an allowance allocation program. The figures and table below summarize production and consumption of regulated HFCs based on activity data reported under 40 CFR Part 84. Production is equal to the amount of a regulated substance manufactured from a raw material or feedstock chemical (excluding the amount produced for transformation) minus destruction. Calculated consumption is equal to production plus imports minus exports. Shown below are the data through May 29, 2024. All reported data are certified by the reporting entity to be true, accurate, and complete. EPA continues to review and verify these data and may revise figures shown on this website as appropriate. All values are presented in metric tons or million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e or MMTCO2e) using 100-year global warming potentials (GWPs) listed in the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report.

HFC Production and Consumption Relative to the Phasedown Limit

The following figures depict the calculated level of HFC production and consumption relative to the AIM Act HFC phasedown schedule.1 Additional historical HFC data going back to 2010 are available on EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) webpage.

HFC Production

Note: Pre-2022 data were collected per requirements under the GHGRP, while data shown in the figure for 2022 were reported in accordance with regulations established under the AIM Act. Values represent production.

HFC Calculated Consumption

Note: Pre-2022 data were collected per requirements under the GHGRP for "net supply," while data shown in the figure for 2022 were reported in accordance with regulations established under the AIM Act. Values represent calculated consumption. “Net supply” is near equivalent but not equal to the term "consumption."

HFC Production and Calculated Consumption for 2022

Note: Negative values occur when destruction exceeds production.
* All values are calculated using the 100-year GWPs listed in the 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, which are numerically equal to the exchange values listed in the AIM Act.
a Due to rounding and continued data verification, this value could vary by up to 2% of the 2022 AIM Act consumption limit.

HFC Allowances Allocated and Expended

To phase down production and consumption of HFCs in the United States, EPA has established a methodology for allocating HFC production and consumption allowances under the authority of the AIM Act. The figure below shows production and consumption allowances expended for 2022 based on reported data.2 Allowances are presented on an exchange value (EV)-weighted basis. Exchange values for the HFCs are numerically equal to the 100-year GWPs listed in the 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, thus EV-weighted production and consumption used for the allowance program are the same as CO2 equivalents.

2022 HFC Allowances Expended

Note: Application-specific allowances are included in the above graphic.

The tables below present the information summarized by the graphic above in greater detail. Consumption and production allowances allocated to each entity for 2022 are shown. The tables also summarize each entity’s unused allowances.3

a Negative values in the unused allowances column occur when an entity has reported HFC consumption that exceeds the number of allowances available to the entity as of December 31 of that year after factoring in amounts allocated, allowances expended, and transactions throughout the year, such as requests for additional consumption allowances and transfers. Such negative values could result in EPA pursuing administrative consequences under 40 CFR Part 84 and enforcement action.

1 The HFC phasedown schedule is relative to the production and consumption baselines, which are set out in 40 CFR 84.7.

2 Data are current as of May 29, 2024. All reported data are certified by the reporter to be true, accurate, and complete. EPA continues to review and verify these data and may revise and update these data, as appropriate.

3 Unused allowances are allowances that were available to the entity as of December 31, 2022, but not used. Allowances are valid between January 1 and December 31 of a given year. They cannot be expended, transferred, or conferred after December 31 of the year for which they were issued.
