Cooling down the planet with Recoolit!

As the world gets hotter and the global economy grows, cooling in all its forms becomes a fundamental human right. It’s impossible to imagine the modern world without air conditioning and refrigeration, but these technologies come with a massive cost in climate impact. Recoolit exists to mitigate emissions from cooling and ensure that health, safety, and comfort can be available to all, without compromising on sustainability.

In 2019, CEO Louis Potok picked up a comprehensive ranking of climate solutions, and saw that refrigerant management was #1 on the list. The scale was immense: 3 gigatons of emissions yearly and growing. And it was tractable: no new scientific breakthroughs were needed. The updated 2017 stated that phasing out the chemicals refrigerants that absorb and release heat could help reduce 57 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050. " He expected to discover that the problem was under control and that solutions were imminent. B…
