Description

**GRANT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY** The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) Commercial Refrigeration Grant Program provides incentives to increase the voluntary adoption of climate friendly low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants in commercial refrigeration equipment in Massachusetts. Many refrigeration systems use hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are potent greenhouse gases (GHGs), with GWPs hundreds to thousands of times that of carbon dioxide (CO2).
