Bhumi provides high quality carbon offsets that empower communities in the developing world.
Destruction of waste refrigerants is the most cost effective way to fight global warming.
Bhumi destroys end of life refrigerants.
You receive a digital, traceable, and auditable carbon offset. By completely destroying refrigerants, Bhumi permanently prevents emissions. Unlike other methods, there is no estimation required.
The revenue of the offset goes to local businesses in India and incentivizes green practices.
The mounting impact of refrigerants on the climate.
Refrigerants like CFCs and HFCs are used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and are thousands of times worse than CO2 for global warming. When released into the atmosphere, they trap heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect. India alone leaks the equivalent of 50 Million Tons of CO2 in refrigerants every year.
How Bhumi Works
Transparency and effectiveness.
Collection
We work with local recyclers and technicians in India to collect end of life refrigerants.
Testing
After collection, the refrigerants are tested at a 3rd party lab and collated until there is enough for efficient transport and destruction.
Destruction
The collated refrigerants are then transported and destroyed at a cement kiln. By using existing combustion, the need for excess energy to incinerate the gases is negated.
Digital Audit Trail
All of these steps are recorded in a digital audit trail, providing transparency and ensuring that customers are protected from greenwashing accusations.
