The escalating urban heatwave crisis underscores the urgent need for innovative energy and emissions management solutions 

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, July 31, 2024 -- During the official launch of the Zoetic refrigerant plant in Youngstown, Zoetic Global and Verdana International announced a one-stop solution to significantly reduce air conditioning related energy costs by replacing existing refrigerants with Zoetic Refrigerants, digitally managing emissions and processing carbon credit claims.

"Urban heat zones are putting tremendous pressure on real estate operators," said Avery Hong, Co-Founder and CEO of Zoetic Global. "Cooling needs have spiked, resulting in elevated power bills and greater increases in carbon emissions. Our solution is to step in and quickly replace incumbent refrigerants with Zoetic products without the need for equipment changeouts or modifications, thus minimizing capital expenditures and operational disruptions."

Cooling units using Zoetic Refrigerants are connected to the Verdana AI engine that produce a continuous cycle of assessment and variance analytics for both management and carbon credit purposes. Verdana is currently working with the World Bank to provide city-wide aggregated, digital validation and verification for its Low Carbon City Project in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Alongside, a Zoetic Refrigerant deployment will sharply reduce turnaround times for emissions reduction related interventions in Ho Chi Minh City.

Asad Sultan, CEO of Verdana International, said Verdana and Zoetic plan to replicate this model across all of Southeast Asia and throughout the Americas. "There's nothing subtle about climate change anymore. It's become more of a climate smackdown. Our industrial strength urban carbon management system has been augmented to handle city-wide aggregation of emission management projects, while remaining fully compliant with UNFCCC CDM carbon credit methodologies," Sultan said.

"Zoetic has developed a modular, refrigerant production system that was showcased at the Youngstown plant opening. These units can be fabricated and quickly shipped, installed and operated anywhere in the world. Zoetic is committed to localizing production, not only to reduce transportation costs and carbon emissions but also to economically impact our partners' communities. This is how we jointly address the massive temperature and climatic changes hitting cities worldwide," Hong said.
