Air conditioning (AC) emissions cause 13% of climate change globally. Indonesia, given its combination of strong economic growth and hot climate, is a massive emitter of freon and other global warming gases. Louis Potok, Founder of Recoolit, has built a technology-driven platform to enable the sale of high-quality carbon credits from refrigerant destruction. The solution engages with AC techs on the front lines and pays them to recover gas before they would otherwise scrap old units and vent the gas straight into the air. Recoolit has developed software to coordinate logistics to destroy the gas to international standards. The platform then sells voluntary carbon credits to global buyers. "We'd like to be about 10 x what we did in 2022" in 2023, on a longer term journey to prevent 1 billion tons CO2e by 2030.
