San Francisco-based EOS Climate launched Refrigerant Asset System (RAS), what is said to be the first cross-sector business model that focuses on refrigerants as assets.
Refrigerants are potent greenhouse gases and significant contributors to global climate change when released to the atmosphere. They have traditionally been treated as consumables in a linear model, in that they are produced, used, leaked and replaced on an ongoing basis. The Refrigerant Asset System allows businesses to manage refrigerants as assets, investing in their conservation and maintenance and monetizing them when they have reached the end of their useful life.
