Technology Transitions

EPA’s Technology Transitions Program sets limits on the use of climate-damaging hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in specific technology sectors and subsectors, including refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pumps, foams, and aerosols. Facilitating the transition to next-generation technologies through sector-based restrictions on HFCs is one way that EPA and stakeholders are working together to meet ambitious climate protection goals.
