The California Air Resource Board (CARB) is an organization entrusted with educating and safeguarding communities from the harmful effects of air pollution and develops programs that combat climate change.  Like California, many states have instituted environmental regulations to help limit the amount of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), like HFCs, into the environment. However, its CARB that has led the charge and has driven innovation that has led to developments in cleaner fuels and low- and zero emission vehicles. Their work extends into an effort to further reduce HFC emissions by 40 percent by 2030, and they have proposed an ambitious second phase of regulations that will significantly impact the commercial refrigeration industry.
