OREM, Utah, July 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reflect Scientific, Inc. (Symbol: RSCF), a leading provider for the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and transportation industries, announces a game-changing market opportunity with the EPA's new rule.
On July 11, 2023, the Associated Press reported that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking decisive action against hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), the potent greenhouse gases used in refrigerators and air conditioners, which significantly contribute to global warming.
The EPA's newly announced rule sets a powerful precedent, enforcing a 40% overall reduction in HFCs starting next year, aligned with a 2020 law that demands an 85% reduction in the use of these harmful chemicals by 2036 as part of a global climate change mitigation strategy. This crucial step signifies a significant breakthrough, as refrigeration and air conditioning systems sold in the United States will emit significantly fewer HFCs, marking the second phase in the 15-year plan to phase out these climate-damaging chemicals from cooling equipment.
CEO Kim Boyce expressed excitement over the recent patent awarded for utilizing liquid nitrogen as a safe refrigerant alternative for cooling refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and Reefer transportation systems. This innovative approach effectively replaces HFCs with zero emissions. He remarked, "Reflect Scientific, a cryogenic temperature management technology pioneer, anticipates tremendous growth potential with this EPA action. The enormity of this market opportunity drives Reflect to actively seek strategic partnerships to leverage its position and lead the charge in the fight against global warming."
Hydrofluorocarbons, known for their high greenhouse gas potency, have been a significant driver of climate change. However, using liquid nitrogen (liquid air) as a refrigerant presents a clean and sustainable solution, generating no emissions and marking a substantial milestone in the battle against climate change.
