ABOUT US
The North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC) is an action-oriented 501c3 nonprofit working to advance natural refrigerant adoption in the grocery sector to create a climate-friendly future for refrigeration.
Natural refrigerants, including carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrocarbons, are a climate-friendly and future-proof refrigerant solution for supermarkets. But it’s not as easy as just switching to natural refrigerants. A unique set of market barriers - such as high upfront cost premiums, a shortage of workforce training, lack of performance data, and technology gaps in existing stores - are preventing their widespread adoption.
Together with our members, we are addressing those barriers head-on to establish a pathway for the widespread adoption of natural refrigerants across North America.
