  2. R-744 Way ForwardUnder VDA • Publish detailed findings for public review • Reach global agreement with environmental & safety authorities on safe passenger exposure limits, test methods, and assumed interior CO2 baseline(s) • Submit vehicle safety mitigation strategy for regulatory review • Pursue SNAP conditional listing to open global markets respecting US EPA judgment • Cooperate to resolve any problems identified

  3. R-1234yf Way ForwardUnder SAE • Publish detailed findings for public review • Identify technology for near-zero refrigerant emissions and high energy efficiency systems • Superior LCCP, reliable systems, safely serviced • Put in place standards that can be referenced in SNAP and/or state approval of R-1234yf • Cooperate to resolve any problems identified

  4. R-1234yf Way Forward USA • Automakers accelerate commercialization to help satisfy green federal loan conditions • Associations jump start regulatory approval and help put in place complementary regulations • OEMs, standards organizations, government partnerships, NGOs, and suppliers continue cooperation on optimizing systems & service • Teams take forward proven technology to developing countries under carbon trading finance or corporate leadership campaigns

  5. Unfolding 2009 Announcements • 04 February SAE Dallas Texas • 05-07 February MACS Dallas Texas • 11-12 February VDA Saalfelden Austria • 04-05 March JSAE Tokyo Japan • 14-16 July SAE Scottsdale AZ • 29 September VTMS Phoenix AZ

  6. Agree • “…announced today cooperation aimed at accelerating the commercial introduction of improved air conditioning systems in US and global markets using refrigerant HFC-1234yf which can significantly reduce the carbon-equivalent emissions of greenhouse gases while increasing vehicle fuel efficiency.” Note to readers not attending the 9 December 2008 meeting: All but four of seventy plus participants agreed that HFC-1234yf is the refrigerant-of-choice to replace HFC-134a in motor vehicle AC. MACCPP chairs will put forward an elaborated plan at the February Mobile Air Conditioning Society Worldwide meeting 5-7 February 2009 (www.macsw.org). The above draft text of a press release will be perfected by automobile companies and other organizations wishing to join the transition to HFC-1234yf. Contact Stephen Andersen for details (andersen.stephen@epa.gov).
