McGavis: Reclaimed gas will be the primary servicing source by 2030
“You know, by 2030, the source of refrigerant for service will have to come from reclaim and recovered refrigerant. That will have to be the primary source as these manufacturing quotas go down year over year.”

McGavis: 80% of cooling equipment emissions come from energy use, 20% from refrigerants
“80% of the of the CO₂ impact from a piece of equipment is that energy efficiency or the energy that's created to run the equipment. The only, the other 20% comes from the refrigerant.”

McGavis: Refrigerants generate 1.5 to 2 gigatons of CO2e annually
“The best estimates are it's between, you know, between one and a half and two gigatons annually of CO₂e or carbon dioxide equivalents.”

Kann: Refrigerant emissions are roughly on par with global aviation
“Refrigerants are, in aggregate, actually a huge source of global greenhouse gas emissions from a climate impact standpoint. They are roughly on par with aviation, which is big.”

McGavis: Refrigerant reclamation is an economic problem, not a technological one
“The technology exists. Nothing has to be developed to be able to successfully recover, reclaim, and refrigerants. It is more of a, frankly, it's more of an economic problem right now.”
