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 TEKO Refrigeration avoided over the lifetime of 2024'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.

In real-world terms

What it adds up to.

529k
homes / year
powered for a year on the same footprint
919k
petrol cars off the road
for one year of driving emissions avoided
16.0B
km not driven
distance equivalent never burned in a tank
03
Hidden pollutant

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

Trifluoroacetic acid is an ultra-short-chain PFAS that leaks from synthetic refrigerants and accumulates in rainwater. Natural-refrigerant systems leak zero.

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.

Growth

Cumulative avoided CO₂e emissions over the years.

TEKO Refrigeration has been ATMO Approved since 2021 — 4 consecutive years of independently verified impact.
