commref -- 2nd Statewide Workshop Notice: High-Global Warming Potential Refrigerant Management Program for Stationary Refrigeration and Air-Conditioni

Posted: 28 Jan 2009 09:20:42
ARB will hold a series of workshops to discuss the Refrigerant
Management Program for stationary refrigeration and
air-conditioning. The Air Resources Board (ARB) staff invites you
to participate in the second statewide public workshop to discuss
proposed regulation for reducing high-global warming potential
(GWP) refrigerant emissions from stationary refrigeration and
air-conditioning equipment through leak repair, reporting,
improved refrigerant recovery rates, and other approaches.  This
control measure is being developed as an early action measure
pursuant to the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006
(AB 32). 

At the workshop, ARB staff will present an overview of the
sector, efforts to date, the draft preliminary results of
emissions inventory, cost analysis, and the draft regulatory
language.  Attached please find our workshop notice. 

In order to gather additional information from all stakeholders,
staff will host three workshops throughout the State.  Staff will
present the same information at all three locations shown below.

We have developed a website and list-serve to help stakeholders
stay current on regulatory developments, future meetings, and
timelines.  Please visit our website at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/reftrack/reftrack.htm for additional
information. 

In mid or late January 2009, ARB staff will post the following
documents on our website:

1. revised draft regulatory language;

2. Appendix A: California Facilities and Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Inventory – High-Global Warming Potential Stationary
Source Refrigerant Management Program; and 

3. Appendix B: Economic Impact Estimates – High-Global Warming
Potential Stationary Source Refrigerant Management Program. 

These two appendices present the technical review of staff’s
research on the baseline 2010 and 2020 business-as-usual and post
rule implementation emissions inventory, potential emissions
reductions, and costs related to the Refrigerant Management
Program proposed regulation.  

The workshops were rescheduled to the dates indicated in order
to allow time for the three documents listed above to be drafted
and reviewed.  The tentative Board hearing and adoption date is
May 2009.

An agenda and staff presentation will be posted prior to the
Diamond Bar workshop at our website too.  You can also sign up
for our list-serve by going to

We welcome and encourage your participation at this workshop. 
If you have questions about the public workshop or future
outreach activities, please contact Yachun Chow at (916) 323-1532
or ychow@arb.ca.gov, or Pamela Gupta, Manager of Greenhouse Gas
Reduction Strategy Section, at (916) 327-0604 or
