Trump to delay Biden-era refrigerant rules in push to ease costs, White House official says

​The ​Trump administration on ‌Thursday intends ​to delay compliance with ‌two Biden-era rules governing refrigerants as part of a broader ‌effort to unwind the former ‌president’s environmental agenda, according to a White House official.

The ⁠actions ​would ⁠affect grocers, semiconductor manufacturers and other ⁠companies that use hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent ​greenhouse gases used in ⁠refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The ⁠compliance ​requirements stem from a 2023 Environmental Protection ⁠Agency rule aimed at reducing emissions ⁠of ⁠the superpollutants.
