Significant New Alternatives Policy

SNAP programprohibits the use of certain chemicalsthat contribute to climate change

promotes smooth transition to safer alternatives

by 2020

The latest proposal is estimated to

reduce greenhouse gases

byupto

million metric tonsof carbon dioxide42

which is equal to

the carbon dioxide emissions from the annual electricity use

of more than

5 million homes

The HFCs and HFC-containing blends affected by SNAP proposal are used in:

aerosols

motor vehicle air conditioning

retail food refrigeration

vending machines

foam blowing

The SNAP program has reviewed substitutesfor the following industrial sectors:

Refrigeration Air Conditioning

Foam Blowing Agents

Cleaning Solvents

Fire Suppression Explosion Protection

Aerosols

Sterilants

Tobacco Expansion

Adhesives, Coatings Inks
