Biden, Harris Launch Crackdown on HFC Smuggling, Targeting 85% Reduction by 2036
Sep 17, 2024, 12:24 PM
The Biden administration, with Vice President Kamala Harris, has launched a new initiative to crack down on smugglers of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), a potent greenhouse gas. This initiative aims to reduce domestic production and consumption of HFCs by 85% by 2036. The crackdown targets illegal trade at US borders and ports, focusing on refrigerants rather than drugs or counterfeit goods. This measure aligns with the US's commitment to phase down HFCs, addressing environmental concerns associated with these gases.
