They also cover an EPA NPRM (notice of proposed rulemaking by the US Environmental Protection Agency) that was issued in December 2022, which may require certain subsectors of vehicles and mobile equipment to stop using refrigerants with a high GWP (global warming potential), such as R-134a (or HFC-134a) by the year 2025 or 2026.
