Epa Global Warming
How to stay ahead and meet the needs of early action for stationary refrigerant management to include in updates to AB 32.
The California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), first passed in 2006 with additional shares at the beginning taking Indeed in 2010, is a general guideline and complete in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by about 25% by the year 2020. This objective beginning of the action stems from increased emissions of carbon equivalent in California since 1990. The spirit of the law to reduce greenhouse gases to their 1990 levels, thereby reversing 16 years of pollution within 14 years.
Under the California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), the Air Resources Board (ARB) approved a measure early action to reduce global warming potential (GWP) of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) establishing new legislation and the definition of requirements for improved surveillance systems AC / HVAC, enforcement, reports of the use of refrigerants and recovery, recycling or destruction of gas with high-GWP refrigerant.
Gas greenhouse gases (GHGs) as defined by the California's AB 32 are identical to those gases identified in the Kyoto Protocol. These gases are already regulated controlled and managed by many other countries around the world. In addition to carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the best known greenhouse gas, the following gases are also defined as GHG high global warming potential (GWP) emissions of carbon equivalent in the 32 laws AB:
* Methane (CH4), a byproduct of decomposing waste, and natural geological phenomena, the majority is derived from methane gas drilling natural.
* Nitrous oxide (N2O), a pollutant created by industrial processes, exhaust gases from motor vehicles, and industrial pollutants react with the atmosphere as methane, nitrous oxide may also be a product of decomposition waste in nature and agriculture.
* Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas used for various electrical applications, including switchgear gas-insulated. Sulfur hexafluoride is also used for experimental applications.
* The perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs): a collection of commonly used refrigerant gases and aerosols with a wide variety other commercial applications. CFCs and HCFCs are considered substances that deplete the ozone layer (ODS), as defined in Title VI the U.S. Clean Air Act (Section 608).
The California EPA's Air Resources Board (CARB) has developed a complex system and very detailed system gas management for greenhouse gas refrigerant, known as the refrigerant management program installed equipment, and stricter standards for new plants or existing refrigeration systems and ongoing maintenance. CARB According to this strategy includes careful monitoring of potential leaks Refrigerant gas, improved record keeping and certification of personnel and specifications for the PSC and HCFC recovery equipment.
The proposed mobile equipment and fixed refrigerant management program, which integrates two AB 32 early action, addressing the detailed monitoring and management of PFCs and HCFCs noted above and includes requirements for monitoring refrigeration systems existing and new commercial and industrial. May be implemented by January 2010, is the monitoring and management of high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants in large systems order 2,000 pounds of refrigerant.
CARB is responsible for monitoring and emissions of GHG gases at high GWP, as well and the possible development and application of quantitative and specific regulations on new carbon-related management which refrigerant with monitoring, reporting, management of cylinders and gas recovery of fixed refrigerant and air conditioning (AC) all major systems to become part integral.
The CARB proposal may also include fines for mismanagement of refrigerant record keeping, venting intentional systems, and failure to submit periodic reports required use of refrigerant. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is an extension of the EPA and works to monitor and enforce the U.S. Clean Air Act. Article 608 of the Air Act regulates the use gas refrigerant leakage, recovery and annual reports.
The general intent of CARB strategy is to monitor and reduce the introduction of artificial GHG and GHG GWP high in the atmosphere, as required by the California Global Warming Solutions ACT (AB 32) in force since 2006 with tighter controls, monitoring and general regulations became enforceable in early 2010.
Refrigerant gas monitoring, tracking and management are planning activities important considerations. As organizations manage assets, as a delivery truck, the consequences of emissions of high GWP gases such as refrigerant gases must be taken into account. Refrigerants cost money, harm the ozone layer and the environment, and are subject to mandatory reporting of carbon emissions. While organizations with AC / HVAC refrigerant gas containing 50 pounds or more will soon discover, effective monitoring, data management, and reporting systematic use of refrigerants will be the key to business success in our emerging carbon economy.
