Trump to delay Biden-era refrigerant rules in push to ease costs, White House official says
The EPA says the rollback will save families $2.4 billion and ease compliance costs for supermarkets, air conditioners and refrigerated transport.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump is set to announce an overhaul of Biden-era Environmental Protection Agency refrigerant rules at an Oval Office event with executives from Kroger and Piggly Wiggly.
- Facing rising inflation and political pressure ahead of November midterm elections, the Trump administration estimates the changes will produce $900 million in total savings, including $800 million at groceries for American families.
- The plan extends deadlines for phasing out HFCs under the 2023 Technology Transitions Rule and exempts road refrigerant appliances from new leak requirements, allowing businesses greater flexibility.
- While the Food Industry Association applauded the relief, the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute warned the reversal injects market uncertainty, and environmentalists argued it exacerbates climate pollution.
- The move reverses the 2020 American Innovation and Manufacturing Act signed by Trump, with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin characterizing prior rules as "piled on costly, unattainable restrictions beyond what the law requires.
