The project activity is the destruction of eligible ODS refrigerant, mainly R-11, for which ownership was transferred to Tradewater for the purpose of destruction. The ODS is sourced from Virginia from a facility owned by DuPont Specialty Products USA. Under business-as-usual, the refrigerant would have remained in storage until use. In this case, the ODS will eventually vent, through leakage resulting from corrosion of the storage container. The refrigerants included in this project were no longer needed for use, and their risk of venting is thereby mitigated by destruction at Heritage Thermal Services, an eligible destruction facility. The project activity consists of three destruction events where 94,100 lbs of ODS refrigerant are destroyed. It results in 198,196 tCO2e of emissions reductions.
