Groundbreaking Refrigerant Carbon Credit™ Pilot Program Rewards Grocers For Climate-Friendly Refrigerant Choices

LAKE FOREST, ILLINOIS: Therm, North America’s leading refrigerant carbon offset developer, today announced the successful sale and retirement of its issuance of Refrigerant Carbon Credits™ from the North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council Pilot Program. Carbon financing allows grocery retailers and other foodservice providers to switch to climate-friendly refrigerants at lower capital costs by selling the credits created by the projects through the voluntary carbon market. These projects’ Refrigerant Carbon Credits sold at a significant premium to the current rate of similar credits. Projects included refrigeration rack replacements to CO2 as well as micro-distributed and stand-alone cases.
