Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Lee Zeldin said Sunday that the Trump administration is providing “flexibility” to businesses by loosening restrictions on the use of super-polluting greenhouse gases in commercial refrigeration.

Under the new EPA rule unveiled on Wednesday, supermarkets can use hydrofluorocarbons that are up to 1,400 times as potent as carbon dioxide until 2032. The rule also eased restrictions on cold storage warehouses, semiconductor manufacturing and refrigerated transportation.

Zeldin said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the EPA’s “focus” is on implementing the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act, a bipartisan law that President Trump signed in 2020 and intended to phase down the use of the aforementioned refrigerants.

“The last administration went with a very aggressive timetable, more aggressive than what the law had required and after members of Congress had debated, deliberated on what would be the right phase-out,” he told host Jake Tapper.
