The North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council
The action-oriented environmental nonprofit contributing to the most impactful solution to climate change. Together with the supermarket industry, we’re reducing greenhouse gas emissions from HFC refrigerants & paving the way for climate-friendly natural refrigerants.
The HFC Problem
Commonly used Hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants (HFCs) are potent greenhouse gases that trap thousands of times more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide (CO2) and are growing faster than any other greenhouse gas on the planet. Read more.
Transitioning supermarkets to climate-friendly natural refrigerants is the single most effective way to eliminate emissions from HFCs. However, natural refrigerants have a unique set of market barriers that must be addressed to scale adoption and unlock their tremendous climate benefits. Read more.
