Chemours Supports Automotive Industry's Ask to Extend Fluorinated Refrigerant Transition for EU Mobile Air Conditioning Beyond 2040
Chemours publicly backed the automotive industry's request to extend the EU PFAS restriction transition timeline for mobile air conditioning refrigerants to at least 13 years for light-duty EVs and 20 years for other vehicles. Industry submissions from ACEA, JAMA, MAHLE, and the German Association of the Automotive Industry cited the lack of a drop-in replacement for R-1234yf; propane and CO2 alternatives face safety, cost, and redesign barriers.
