##### PROBLEM FOCUS

Commonly used and disposed refrigerant gases, including CFCs and HFCs, have a climate-damaging potential that is <2000 times more potent than Carbon Dioxide. In India alone, tonnes of refrigerant gases are vented into the environment each year due to a lack of management and monitoring systems.

##### TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Bhumi destroys waste gas refrigerants using residual heat from cement kilns, requiring no additional energy so the full value of destroyed gas yields credits. It monitors the entire custodial process using photographs and IoT sensor logs at the destruction site to ensure clients can be fully confident in credit veracity. A state-of-the-art AI layer detects fraud and guides field technicians on responsible retrieval.
