The recognition highlights Therm’s consistent delivery of high-quality, impactful climate solutions
LAKE FOREST, IL, Dec. 12, 2024: Therm Solutions, Inc. received an A-Rating from BeZero Carbon for its project ACR904, marking the second A-Rating the company has earned for its carbon credit projects. ACR904 accelerates the transition to climate-friendly refrigerants (R-744 and R-449A) in large-rack commercial refrigeration systems across supermarket locations in the southeastern United States.
BeZero’s A-Rating indicates a high likelihood that the project’s carbon credits deliver one tonne of CO₂e avoidance per credit. The rating recognizes the project’s strong additionality, citing the low market penetration of climate-friendly refrigerant technologies and significant financial and technical hurdles overcome to implement the systems.
Therm’s projects tackle one of the largest, yet often overlooked, climate challenges: refrigerant emissions. By helping grocery stores adopt climate-friendly refrigerants, Therm enables measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions while supporting businesses in overcoming financial and operational barriers. These initiatives not only contribute to climate action but also drive positive outcomes for food-insecure communities and local economies.
“This second A-Rating demonstrates the strength of Therm’s approach and the real impact our projects are delivering,” said Fritz Troller, CEO and co-founder of Therm. “We’re proving that carbon finance can drive the adoption of sustainable technologies at scale while meeting the highest standards for quality.”
A-Rated projects like ACR904 are increasingly sought after as buyers prioritize quality and credibility in their carbon portfolios, with many willing to pay a premium for independently verified climate impact. As demand for high-quality credits rises, independent ratings help buyers identify trustworthy projects that deliver measurable climate benefits.
Therm’s A-Rated projects showcase the company’s ability to overcome industry barriers and implement innovative solutions that accelerate climate action.
