Carbon Credits Provide Cash Incentives and Environmental Benefits for the Recovery and Destruction of CFCs

Used CFCs found in any condition, or mixed with other refrigerants can be turned into cash with the additional benefit of protecting the environment!    

The California Climate Action Reserve (CAR) has formally released a Destruction of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) Protocol, that provides a standardized approach for quantifying and monitoring Green House Gas (GHG) reductions, from projects that destroy ODS with high global warming potential. Specifically, the CAR Protocol version 2.0 provides incentives for the destruction of R-11, R-12, R-13, R-113, R-114 and R-115, with the caveat that these gases were previously used in refrigerant applications, or are from virgin stockpiles. Other CFCs recovered from foam building insulation and from appliance insulation are also eligible. The protocol is available at the following link: http://www.climateactionreserve.org/how/protocols/adopted/ods/current/

“The current market value of these offset credits not only covers all the costs of destruction, but also provides cash incentives to contractors and end users who are willing to recover these refrigerants and send them to an approved recycling facility that is recognized by CAR as a site that can convert these CFCs to verified carbon credits. “
