A Sustainable Future Made Possible by YOU
Your gift will contribute to the leading climate solution identified by Project Drawdown. Traditional refrigerants have been named the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gas emissions globally, trapping thousands of times more heat than carbon dioxide.
Natural refrigerants have zero or near-zero global warming potential (GWP), and accelerating their adoption will result in permanent and meaningful emissions reductions.
As an action-oriented nonprofit, 100% of your gift will contribute to our mission of overcoming the barriers to natural refrigerants. Activities include identifying new funding sources to reduce upfront costs, accelerating training resources for contractors, initiating data collection and technology validation projects, and coordinating with regulatory agencies to improve proposed refrigerant regulations.
