Subject: Proposal for incentives for use of natural refrigerants
Comment:
Hillphoenix is in favor of this proposal to incentivize the use of natural refrigerants, in lieu of traditional chemical refrigerants for commercial refrigeration. The standard supermarket refrigerant has a very high GWP around 4000. An incentive program like this could push the use of natural refrigerants, which have a GWP from 0 to less than 10, across the United States as retailers could use these funds to offset the cost of natural refrigerant systems. Currently, these systems are a premium over traditional refrigerant systems, due to the lower volume. However, a program to offer incentives for their use would increase the volume and lower the premium making them affordable for all. Many retailers have stated that if these systems were the same price as standard systems they would switch immediately.
