Subject: Calif. proposal for incentives for natural refrigerant useage
Comment:
It is my belief that promoting use of low GWP or natural refrigerants is in the best interest of all Californians, and that providing funding or incentives for supermarket owners or other commercial operators to install these natural or low GWP refrigerants is essential. Also, operators of cold storage facilities, or other refrigerated spaces where there are choices to use either traditional high GWP HFC refrigerants versus low GWP or natural refrigerants should also be included. One of the main reasons I am supporting these sorts of programs would be to get the ball rolling for more installations to take place, which in turn should reduce the cost of these alternative means of refrigeration. By installing more locations, the potential for greenhouse gas emission reductions is significant, and presents an environmental benefit. These systems can also be very energy efficient, which defers power plant construction or strain on the electrical grid. Therefore, I am in support of any proposals within the state of Ca. that would provide funding or incentives for end users to use natural refrigerants. These end users may be grocery retailers, convenience stores or small food retail, cold storage or other non food retail refrigeration operators, etc. Thank you!
