This $2,295,005 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) Reclaim and Innovative Destruction Grants program (CFDA 66.047) provides funding to the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Technology Institute (AHRTI) to develop and demonstrate an innovative technology to chemically convert and destroy HFCs. The project will design, construct, and test a pilot-scale plant that can safely recover usable chemical products from end-of-life refrigerants containing HFCs, eliminating their release into the atmosphere and reducing climate impact. The expected outcomes include increased stakeholder engagement, improved understanding of the HFC destruction process, and demonstrated effectiveness and efficiency of the chemical conversion technology. This 2-year effort, running from October 2024 to September 2026, does not involve any subawards.
