Technology Transition Program Overview

How is the Technology Transition Program related to the AIM Act?
The AIM Act (American Innovation and Manufacturing Act) is federal regulation enacted to reduce the global warming impact of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The AIM Act authorizes the EPA to address HFCs through three main initiatives: the Phasedown of HFC Consumptions and Productions, the Emission Reduction and Reclamation (ER&R) Program, and the Technology Transition Program. As part of the AIM Act, the Technology Transition Program aims to facilitate new equipment to transition to more eco-friendly refrigerants.
What is the Technology Transition Program and how does it affect the industry?
The Technology Transition Program aims to transition new equipment to adopt refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP). Under the technology transition program, the EPA restricts the usage of high-GWP refrigerants in new equipment across various sectors, pushing industries toward sustainable alternatives. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are responsible for ensuring that the initial refrigerant charge in their products complies with these regulations. Additionally, technicians and end-users must stay informed about the refrigerants used in their systems, as newer refrigerants (e.g., HFOs) often require different charging procedures and tools for proper handling.
