Keep 100 million tCO2e out of the atmosphere by 2035.

Remove® prevents the release of refrigerant gases into the atmosphere, making the air conditioning and refrigeration sector sustainable in Africa.

THE PROBLEM

Refrigerants emit 3 billion tons of CO2 equivalent each year, which is more than the aviation industry!

Each residential and industrial refrigeration or air conditioning unit depends on refrigerants to operate. Regrettably, when these cooling devices require maintenance or reach their end of life in the Global South, the F-gases within are often released, creating a massive climatic impact.

3800x

HFCs heat the planet 3,790 times more than CO2 with a lifespan of 20 years.
7600x

PFCs warm the planet 7,600 times more than CO2 with a lifespan of 50,000 years.
22000x

SF6 warms the planet 22,200 times more than CO2 and has a lifespan of 3,200 years.
10%

The use of fluorinated gases is increasing by more than 10% per year worldwide.

OUR SOLUTION

We develop and finance gas-F recycling systems in the global south, permanently preventing induced CO2 emissions.

We build certification scheme of the recycling system to "book & claim" the climate gains generated into high quality carbon credits. This offer a straightforward and effective rewards for businesses seeking to sustainably contribute to a healthier climate and environment. Moreover, our carbon credit guarantee the highest additionality level since without these, the gas recycling branches do not exist.

You want to voluntary offset or inset your residual carbon emission >>

How does it work?

When you purchase our carbon credits, you are funding a specific and distinct quantity of greenhouse gases being eliminated through our supply chain.

Collection

Our technicians collect HFC and PFC gases from equipment, either under maintenance or at the end of its lifecycle, into secure recovery cylinders.(degassing)

Transportation

The recovery cylinders are transported to the nearest processing center in accordance with the standards for transporting harmful and toxic gases.

Recycling

The gas is analyzed (weight, type, PRG*) stored in secure tanks then destroyed or recycled in a safe and permanent manner according to national and international standards.

Certification

Carbon certificates are issued precisely according to the weight and GWP* of the gas destroyed to value and finance the treatment chain in Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Most Frequently Asked Questions

What is the program REMOVE® ?

REMOVE is an African-based multi-actor ecosystem that addresses the problem of fluorinated gases found in malfunctioning or end-of-life refrigeration equipment. These gases possess a high global warming potential (GWP), making them incredibly harmful to the atmosphere. Once these gases are destroyed, the program REMOVE® issues carbon credits. These are bought and utilized to offset or inset non-reducible carbon emissions within HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) sector businesses.

How does the REMOVE® program operate?

The Remove Program connects the fluorinated gas (Gas-F) treatment sector in Africa, particularly networks of certified refrigeration and air conditioning technicians, with companies wishing to voluntarily contribute to reducing their emissions. It encourages and supports a sustainable activity aimed at removing these super-warming greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The process involves the recovery of fluorinated gases, transportation to specialized treatment sites, secure and permanent destruction of gases, as well as digital certification of each step on the platform.

What gases are treated by the program ?

REMOVE primarily deals with fluorinated gases present in industrial or personal cooling equipment (HFC gases) as well as in high voltage electrical networks (SF6 gases). These gases have a high global warming potential (GWP) and significantly contribute to climate change.

How is the transparency of the gas treatment process ensured by the program?

The transparency of the gas treatment process by the program "Remove" is ensured by a digital certification of each step of the process by our platform. A "book & Claim" system provides traceability across the entire value chain and records all data, measurements, and certificates in an immutable digital register. The system is completely transparent and auditable in real time.

What certificates are issued by the program?

REMOVE issues carbon credit certificates equivalent to the amount of emissions avoided through its fluorinated gas treatment activity, based on their GWP (Global Warming Potential). These high-quality carbon credits are purchased and used as part of the Insetting or offsetting for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) sector companies on their non-reducible carbon emissions.

We guarantee the highest additionality level since without these revenues, the gas recycling branches do not exist.

How does the program contribute to international climate agreements?

REMOVE is a continuation of the Montreal Protocol and works to operationalize the Kigali Agreement, which is a concrete application of the Paris Agreement. By eliminating fluorinated gases from equipment, REMOVE contributes to preventing the emission of 73 billion tons of CO2 equivalent by 2050. This significantly reduces global warming and preserves the future of our planet.
