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.

Hidden pollutant

TFA: the forever chemical you haven't heard of.

Trifluoroacetic acid is an ultra-short-chain PFAS that forms as a breakdown product of synthetic refrigerants and accumulates in rainwater. Natural refrigerants don't break down into TFA.

Stage 1 · Emission

HFCs and HFOs leak from refrigeration systems.

Synthetic refrigerants escape over the lifetime of every system: installation, service, end-of-life. The leaks are small, but they add up across millions of installations worldwide.

Founder

In the words of the people who built it.

We applied to renew the ATMO Approved Label because natural refrigerants are at the core of our long-term strategy and values. Being recognized once again by ATMOsphere as a ‘Best in Class natural refrigerants company’ confirms that we are on the right path. Our commitment to climate mitigation is not static: it is growing year after year through investments in infrastructure, safety, quality, and supply reliability. We are proud to be part of a global community that actively contributes to decarbonization, and we look forward to further strengthening our role in enabling sustainable cooling and heating solutions worldwide.
