Project TypeIndustrial Process Emissions

What They DoThis project mitigates greenhouse gas emissions by preventing the release of used HFCs into the atmosphere, reclaiming and repurposing them from refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, which not only eliminates the need for new HFC production but also reduces overall HFC emissions.

About This Project

  • This project reduces greenhouse gas emissions by preventing the release of used HFCs to the atmosphere where they are significantly more damaging to the environment than an equal measure of CO2. 
  • The project does this by recovering, reclaiming and repurposing used HFCs from refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.  Reclaimed HFCs are also used to recharge refrigeration and HVAC equipment. The reuse of reclaimed HFCs also eliminates the need to produce new HFCs and results in a net reduction of HFC emissions.
  • Refrigerant gases included in the scope of the Project include
    R-134a, R-404a, R-407a, R-407c, R-410a.
  • Carbon credit sales provide the funding necessary to recover, transport, and process refrigerants to virgin purity levels for reuse.

Sustainability Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, are a set of 17 interconnected goals established by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. The SDGs build upon the earlier Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) but are broader in scope, encompassing a wide range of economic, social, and environmental issues. They provide a comprehensive framework for addressing global challenges and achieving a more sustainable and equitable world. This project has the following sustainability development goals that are displayed.
