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 SURE Solutions avoided over the lifetime of 2025's equipment placed in the market.

03
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.

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.
