Regulatory Landscape: Why Natural Refrigerants Win

Both the US and Canada are accelerating HFC phase-down. R290 and CO₂ are the only truly future-proof choice.

🇺🇸 United States — EPA AIM Act

  • 85% HFC consumption reduction required by 2036
  • EPA SNAP Rule 23: R410A and R134a restricted in new commercial equipment
  • California CARB leading with state-level restrictions ahead of federal timeline
  • R290 (GWP 3) and CO₂ (GWP 1) are fully exempt from all AIM Act restrictions
  • DOE efficiency standards tightening — heat pumps outperform gas boilers

🇨🇦 Canada — Kigali Amendment

  • 85% HFC reduction by 2036 under Montreal Protocol Kigali Amendment
  • Environment Canada HCFC/HFC regulations aligning with US AIM Act timeline
  • Federal carbon pricing at $170/tonne CO₂e by 2030 — makes gas increasingly expensive
  • BC, Quebec, Ontario adopting strong heat pump incentive programmes
  • Natural refrigerants (R290, CO₂) fully compliant with all current and proposed Canadian regulations
