Be Prepared for the Transition from
R-134a to R-1234yf
R-134a to R-1234yf
So What’s Driving this Transition?
The American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act was enacted by Congress in 2020 to phase down the production and use of HFCs, such as R-134a, due to their high global warming potential (GWP). The AIM Act requires a phase down of HFC production and usage to 85% by 2036. During this phasedown period, the price and availability of R-134a is expected to gradually change, decreasing supply while increasing cost.
Following Suit with the Automotive Industry
The automotive industry successfully transitioned to R-1234yf in 2013. As of 2023, there are currently over 90 million cars on the road in the US safely using R-1234yf. The transition to R-1234yf for heavy-duty vehicles is already underway. As of June 2022, Rule 24 of the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program approved the use of R-1234yf in light duty nonroad vehicles.
