Most organisations have lots of equipment and vehicles containing refrigerants. And most have little knowledge of what refrigerant is in their equipment or what stocks they might have, especially if dispersed across various servicing contractors. We help companies, organisations and government gather the required data and put in place the software tools (for the contractors to use also) to streamline the collection and reporting. Whether you have HFCs, HCFCs, HFOs or other F-gases we cover them all. Even Natural refrigerants need managing for safety and compliance which is part of our expertise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/4dd1abe6-5cf5-421f-a9a8-47613e486171/R134a+1000w+WP.jpg Home - Helping organisations align with Net Zero There is now a rush to set and deliver on net-zero targets, however many organisations overlook (or unknowingly omit) emissions from their refrigerant inventories. This is especially so when setting net-zero GHG targets (as opposed to net-zero Carbon only). Refrigerant management starts with building an accurate inventory. Even if you don’t need to calculate emissions today, having an accurate inventory helps ensure compliance with the many regulations coming into force. It drives operating costs reductions by understanding where refrigerant is being lost (leaked) and identifies where equipment performance can be improved minimising costly breakdowns https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/b9203835-a265-4db9-bb4c-1d1163fdfb70/Ammonia+refrigeration+compressor+1500w.jpg Home - Leak Mitigation and Energy use Leak Mitigation starts with knowing your leak rates and then proactively detecting them with the appropriate technology. We help advise organisations on what to implement and assist with the design and implementation. Coupled with best-practice procedures, Leak Mitigation helps reduce costs from replacing refrigerant, lowers energy use, reduces failures and ensures compliance with regulations such as the EU F-Gas phasedown. Energy use can also be lowered through energy efficiency measures. This means both designing for lower cooling loads and optimising equipment controls. We work with our partners at Teale who have established expertise in analysing and improving common equipment systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/64dd79da-cb0b-4462-a72e-5bc6f7ed2fd1/Air+conditioning+units+with+refrigeration+tech+2500w.jpeg Home - Advisory and Training Sometimes organisations need some help to cut through the various competing interests in the market. This is often the case with refrigerants and there can be lots of different claims not to mention acronyms (HFCs, HCs, HFOs, F-gases etc). As independent Advisors we are guided by what ensures the best outcome for both our clients and the climate. When it comes to refrigerants while some might look good on paper, perhaps there are other environmental impacts to consider. Understanding the options can be a challenge but we are here to help. We also believe that capacity building is one of the most effective ways to make a difference. Building awareness both in-house and within contractors and maintenance teams on the ground is one of the crucial steps to limiting emissions - especially from leaky equipment. We provide training on refrigerant life-cycle management and also tailored courses on leak mitigation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/dd4fda77-3e86-4aa6-b370-95869e888378/word-cloud6+jpg.jpg Home Our Services cover all aspects of refrigerants including their selection, operation of equipment, leak management and end-of-life disposal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/1646911476560-H5V0OHP37YFWAFI2YEKX/Refrigerant%252Bmanagement%252Bstarting%252Bout%252B1500w.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/1646911515567-KEY29237UAWQPRTWVGBT/Chiller%252Bplant%252Bwith%252Brefrigerant%252B1500w.jpg Home https://www.veridienrm.com/mission daily 0.75 2022-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/10be7827-757c-405a-9ef7-f76be602616d/image-asset.jpeg Our Mission - Our Focus. While CO2 and Methane (rightly) get their share of attention we are targeting the HFCs and other refrigerant gases that are growing at a rapid pace - and have an outsized environmental impact. It is clear now that we face a race against time and this is one area where we can genuinely accelerate efforts. We’ve formed Veridien RM as the vehicle for this journey – we look forward to working with our friends, partners and new clients in addressing this global challenge. - Adrian Bukmanis Founder and Principal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Our Mission https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Our Mission https://www.veridienrm.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-04-12 https://www.veridienrm.com/leaks daily 0.75 2022-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/12a68f24-fd35-4136-b997-0da4cb08950e/Refrigerant+Leak+1500w.jpg Leak Mitigation - Refrigerant Leaks - What do we mean? Refrigerant systems leak - some more than others but almost all systems leak some amount over time. Leaks also occur during production, storage and disposal of refrigerants. Some of these leaking refrigerants still contribute to Ozone depletion (HCFCs), some contribute significantly to Global Heating (HFCs) and some have other potentially negative environmental impacts (HFOs). Some also have health and safety considerations (e.g. Ammonia) The problem many organisations face however is that they are unaware how much is leaking and what the impact is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/a4567a44-1499-48e4-9e19-2e7a9ab0c45f/ESG+Inventory+electronic+1500w.jpg Leak Mitigation - Is your organisation serious about leaks? If your company is serious about emissions reporting and reductions then it needs to include emissions from refrigerants (what those leaks equate to in terms of climate impact) in corporate emissions reports. One of the first ways to address this is by recording how much refrigerant is used by individual pieces of equipment. Over time the leak rates can be determined – see our Refrigerant Inventory solutions for addressing this challenge here. Creating an accurate inventory helps determine where to focus efforts and resources. The objective is to reduce how much is leaking - which is where our leak detection solutions come in. We provide advice on the various technologies (direct and indirect) and with our partners provide technology solutions that address safety, cost and emissions risk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/01e66d52-603e-4008-a0da-9d0357687dc5/unsplash-image-xG8IQMqMITM.jpg Leak Mitigation - Our clients often face these questions. How can we get timely alerts on leaks or potential leaks? What is the best technology in order to comply with regulations for mandatory leak checks? How do we ensure our leaks are rectified and being re-checked (as per the regulations) – and recorded correctly? What do we need to do to ensure we cover safety requirements? How can we measure both the direct and indirect (energy) impact of leaking refrigerants? Which are the worst equipment for leaks in our portfolio? https://www.veridienrm.com/advisory daily 0.75 2022-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/283c2ecf-bd34-489d-9360-701a7fec3311/Refrigerant+keyboard+1500w.jpg Advisory and Training - We’ve helped our clients address these common Questions and Challenges. What are the best options for dealing with refrigerants at end-of-life? How do I build up the capabilities and knowledge of my employees & contractors to deal with refrigerants? Should I include Scope 3 refrigerant emissions from my supply chain? How can I reduce the energy-related emissions from my refrigeration or cooling equipment? How do I decide on replacement or alternative refrigerants with so many options out there? What are the local regulations regarding refrigerants and how do I ensure my company complies with current and pending regulations? How can I align my cooling, refrigeration, heating with net-zero / SBTi targets? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/fa8b85dd-5709-429c-a5b0-3f23a2e35c11/unsplash-image-FlPc9_VocJ4.jpg Advisory and Training - Compliance & Target Setting.

Refrigerant management done properly often leads to better equipment performance and less energy use. As a lot of energy is still fossil-based this means Refrigeration and Air-conditioning produces both Scope 2 emissions from Energy and Scope 1 from the leaked refrigerant. Knowing which equipment is leaking, how much is leaking and how long it takes to repair can drive better decisions and allocation of resources. Leaking equipment can significantly increase the energy use and can lead to component failures and additional maintenance. Our experience and partnership with Energy Efficiency specialists Teale means we can deliver a total solution that reduces emissions and costs not just from Refrigerant but also the Energy use. We advise on the best use of technology for the continuous monitoring and analysis of refrigeration systems to catch problems early, mitigate leaks and energy use. One of the best strategies for reducing overall emissions is to reduce the cooling load and the need for cooling. Whether as part of the design process or retrofits - reducing the need means smaller equipment leading to less refrigerant and energy use. We provide experienced guidance and strategies for optimising energy performance and design of monitoring and analytics solutions.

Refrigerants are gases that are fundamental to our way of living. In our daily lives most of us will interact with equipment or goods that rely on refrigerants. Most of these gases are man-made (i.e. synthetic chemicals produced in factories) and while they perform an important role many refrigerants also have side-effects. That is why many refrigerants are called super pollutants. The early generations of refrigerant gases were found to have a negative impact on the Earth’s Ozone layer, and regulations as part of the Montreal Protocol were introduced (successfully) to replace them. Unfortunately, the next generation of refrigerants (what we call HFCs) were found to contribute to climate change and global heating. While many countries are now phasing out HFC refrigerants they are still incredibly common and this is why we need to focus on them. With millions of tons of refrigerant in circulation today the job at hand is massive. If these Refrigerant gases are installed inside domestic refrigerators, supermarkets and cars, what’s the issue? Simple - being a gas (often under pressure) they escape during equipment use. Plus there are leaks during production, transport, storage and disposal - in short there are leaks all along the supply chain. And once these gases are in the atmosphere today there are no means of recovering them - trees & plants don’t absorb them unlike with carbon dioxide. We have to wait decades for them to break down in the atmosphere and during this time they cause additional heating of the planet. There are solutions and alternatives of course. Our expertise means we know how to track refrigerants using the latest technologies along with impartial advice and training. We want to help people get started on the journey which is why we offer a complimentary discovery call free of charge - you can schedule time with our team via the link below.

You need to understand the equipment, the types of refrigerant and leakage rates. The implications of getting it wrong are significant in terms of compliance, cost, safety and social license to operate. We also understand that some equipment may be under lease or under third parties which adds additional complexity. We are here to help however. We’ve worked with customers across many different sectors and industries, with facilities big and small. We’ve seen equipment of all types and our background in energy management means we also know how to complete the emissions picture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/a4eb53be-5f21-47ed-92a4-1e8e6fc442db/Condenser+Fans+1500w.jpg Refrigerant Accounting - Let us help build your Refrigerant Inventory In simple terms, your inventory is all of the refrigerant under your care. For most companies the majority is contained in equipment (refrigeration, air-conditioning, data centre cooling, vehicles etc) and some in spare or maintenance stocks. It is vital to have an accurate inventory to understand which equipment is leaking and which equipment is at risk. The inventory is the foundation for emissions reporting and developing meaningful reduction plans. We understand that many organisations lack the internal resources or capabilities to build an inventory - that is where we come in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Refrigerant Accounting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Refrigerant Accounting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Refrigerant Accounting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Refrigerant Accounting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/5f6e6bad-06ff-4077-ad5f-d366fedd2623/Refrigeration+supermarket+rack+AB+2500w.jpg Refrigerant Accounting https://www.veridienrm.com/faqs daily 0.75 2022-03-21 https://www.veridienrm.com/services daily 0.75 2022-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e573720a136a46f8db0e63/6742ee60-a54c-4de1-8685-10f2860be0af/Benefits2.png Services - Managing Refrigerants drives real benefits.
