Accelerating Clean Cooling & Heating

01

Why this matters

Most refrigeration runs on chemicals that warm the planet or quietly poison it.

HFCs warm the atmosphere up to 14,000× more than CO₂. Their HFO replacements break down into TFA — a forever chemical now detectable in rain, ice, and human blood.

The answer

CO₂, ammonia, hydrocarbons — proven for over a century. They don't warm the planet, and they don't leave a forever chemical behind.

Natural refrigerants avoid both.

Primary metric

A year of avoided emissions, made visible.

GHG emissions EQUANS Kältetechnik avoided over the lifetime of 2023's equipment.

Stage 1 · Scale check

1 metric ton of CO₂e is an 8-meter cube.

A petrol car emits roughly that much in six months.

Become ATMO Approved

Does your company use natural refrigerants?

The ATMO Approved label is independently verified — not self-declared, not marketing. If your equipment runs on CO₂, ammonia, hydrocarbons, or water, you may qualify.
