At a Glance
A-Gas and Wren partnered to launch one of the first HCFC-22 destruction projects, using approved ACR methodology. This initiative prevented the release of 16,000 tons of CO2-equivalent emissions by safely destroying ozone-depleting substances. Wren’s subscribers funded the project, highlighting the importance of lifecycle refrigerant management and transparency. Through this partnership, A-Gas and Wren have raised awareness about reducing harmful emissions, offering a sustainable solution to refrigerant disposal.
Challenges
Facilitate carbon projects with the greatest environmental impact.
Destroy ozone-depleting substances (ODS) at the end of their lifecycle (i.e. it can no longer be reclaimed or reprocessed for re-use).
Diversify carbon projects available to subscribers.
Benefits
Environmental: Destroying ODS will prevent harmful releases into the atmosphere.
Other: Educating climate-focused people on the impact of lifecycle refrigerant management.
Economic: Leveraging the carbon market to fund ODS destruction.
