Cooling and refrigeration needs are growing - and so is their Climate Impact…
At Veridien we want to contribute to a future that delivers high-quality cooling, heating and refrigeration to all who need it, using non-polluting refrigerants and powered by clean energy. We want to help build competent and motivated teams supported with the right technology tools and training, to ensure well-maintained systems that are safe and deliver excellent end-product. Whether that be comfortable occupants or quality products.
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.

We’re managing the Life Cycle of refrigerants to reduce emissions, risk and costs
Veridien tackles the problem of greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerants. Most refrigerants have a climate impact thousands of times greater than CO2 and are considered super-pollutants. They are one of the fastest growing greenhouse gases and their emissions come from leaks to the atmosphere during every part of their life-cycle – in their production, utilisation and disposal along with the energy used in the equipment at every stage.
We meet the challenge by providing a comprehensive set of services and software tools to support the management of refrigerants throughout their life cycle - within any organisation or sector. Our Inventory and Tracking solutions provide visibility on where the emissions come from and highlight the risky assets. Our Advisory and Training services build the internal capabilities needed to help organisations set and meet their net-zero targets.
We take pride in being an independent company dedicated to this problem, led by a team with global experience in the refrigeration, cooling and energy efficiency sectors. We work directly with end-clients of all sizes across all sectors. We deliver emission reductions that align with net-zero targets, reduce operating and maintenance costs and help companies mitigate compliance risks associated with their refrigerant choices and use.
Our Emission Focus Areas
-
Close off the Taps
Globally we need to reduce the enormous banks of fluorinated refrigerants which are one of the fastest growing greenhouse gases when emitted. It starts with carefully selecting which refrigerants are put into use.
-
Reduce the Leaks
Leaks occur all along the refrigerant supply chain - in manufacture, use and disposal. Not only do they contribute direct emissions but also increase the energy used in equipment leading to additional fossil emissions.
-
Manage to the End
Disposal of cooling equipment at end of life is a large refrigerant emissions source. All sectors must track where the gas goes and decide carefully to reuse or destroy ensuring it doesn’t end up in the atmosphere.
