Subject: ARB proposal for incentives for natural refrigerant use in supermarket refrigeration
Comment:
The first time costs for natural refrigerant system can be 20% to 50% more than a base direct expansion system. The new low GWP refrigerant cost is significantly more than exisiting HFCs. A great model for initiating change towards increased sustainability/efficiency is the model the utilities use to incentivise energy reduction measures. Hopefully measures can be developed to incentivise the use of natural refrigerant and convert to the lower GWP greater energy efficiency refrigerants. A point that should be remembered is that any costs that are realized from regulation are always passed on to the customer. Often, the very people that regulations were designed to help, are the folks who pay the greatest price.
