CLIMATE IMPACT

As the earth warms, access to sustainable cooling is quickly becoming a fundamental human right.

As global temperatures rise, so does the need for refrigeration and air-conditioning. More and more people need greater and greater cooling, creating a vicious cycle of emissions. However, thanks to global efforts starting decades ago with the Montreal Protocol, world leaders are working to facilitate a shift to sustainable alternatives. Getting there will require our technology and every refrigerant management tool at our disposal.

Refrigerant reclamation is a critical weapon in the near-term fight against global warming.

CO₂ is the largest single contributor to global warming, but half of all warming comes from non-CO₂ pollutants. Many of these are so-called ‘short-lived’ pollutants, because they only last in the atmosphere for decades, not centuries.

One of the most prevalent types of short-lived pollutants are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). There are an estimated 20 billion pounds of HFCs deployed in air-conditioning and refrigeration applications across the globe, and growing rapidly every year. With global-warming-potential (GWP) on average exceeding 2000x that of CO₂, we need to recover, reclaim, and reuse as much of these materials as possible for as long as possible as the world works to transition to sustainable alternatives.

By maximizing refrigerant recovery and reclamation, we can reduce emissions of HFCs into the atmosphere, minimize demand for new production, and make the transition to better alternatives efficient, affordable, and achievable for everyone.
