Therm Earns AA Rating from BeZero for Super Pollutant Refrigerant Project

BeZero places Therm among top 2% of rated projects for practical, verifiable climate solutions LAKE FOREST, IL, Jul. 29, 2025 — Therm Solutions, Inc., a leading developer of super pollutant mitigation projects in the food supply chain, today announced that its refrigeration project ACR1088 has received a AA rating from BeZero Carbon, one of the highest ratings awarded by the leading carbon credit ratings agency.

Out of 577 projects rated by BeZero to date, only 13 have received a rating of AA or higher—placing ACR1088 in the top 2% of projects globally for carbon credit quality.

This is Therm’s third positive rating from BeZero, further validating the company’s track record of developing high-quality, high-integrity climate projects with unassailable additionality and permanent climate benefits.

The ACR1088 project supports a family-owned grocery chain operating in Virginia, New York, and Delaware. Instead of using traditional super pollutant refrigerants—which have an average global warming potential (GWP) of 3,448—these new construction sites install advanced refrigeration systems that run on climate-friendly, low-GWP alternatives. Revenue from carbon credits helps bridge the cost gap, enabling the adoption of cutting-edge climate technology from the start.

The AA rating also recognizes the innate permanence of super pollutant avoidance: once these high-GWP emissions are prevented, they are permanently removed from the equation, unlike other sectors where the risk of reversal can undermine long-term climate outcomes.

“Super pollutants are one of the most powerful levers we have to slow near-term warming,” said Fritz Troller, CEO and co-founder of Therm Solutions. “Receiving a AA rating from BeZero affirms that we’re not only doing the right work; we’re doing it at the highest standard.”

As climate finance increasingly prioritizes near-term impact, super pollutant mitigation projects like ACR1088 offer one of the most cost-effective, immediate, and measurable paths to progress.
