EPA 608 Prep 6, The Kigali Amendment and the HFC Phase-Down

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The Kigali Amendment targets high-GWP HFC refrigerants for their climate impact, not ozone depletion. - The U.S. implements the HFC phase-down through the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act of 2020. - The national goal is a mandatory 85% reduction in HFC production and consumption by the year 2036. - A common exam trap is confusing the purpose of the original Montreal Protocol (ozone) with the Kigali Amendment (global warming). - The industry is shifting to low-GWP alternatives like HFOs (e.g., R-1234yf), CO2, and hydrocarbons.
