Federal offset protocol : reducing greenhouse gas emissions from refrigeration systems.En4-461/2-2025E-PDF

"Emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) from commercial and industrial refrigeration and air conditioning systems are caused by releases during equipment installation, when charging equipment with refrigerant, either initially or when re-filling (top-up), and leaks from equipment operations. Lowering the global warming potential (GWP) of refrigerants used in these systems in Canada ensures that the associated impacts on climate change from unavoidable equipment leaks are minimized to the extent possible. The Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Refrigeration Systems federal offset protocol is intended for use by a proponent undertaking a project to transition away from refrigerants with high-GWP values in their commercial and industrial refrigeration or air conditioning systems, in order to generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions for which federal offset credits may be issued under the Canadian Greenhouse Gas Offset Credit System Regulations--Introduction, page 1.
