In this episode of Green Disruptors: Scaling the Future, Megan Kjar sits down with Fritz Troller, CEO of Thurm, to discuss one of the most overlooked climate opportunities hiding in plain sight: refrigeration and the food supply chain.

Refrigerant gases used in grocery stores and cold storage facilities are among the most powerful greenhouse gases in the world, and small leaks add up to massive climate impact. These “super pollutants” are responsible for a significant portion of near-term global warming — but they’re also one of the fastest problems we can solve.

Fritz explains how Thurm works with grocery stores, distributors, and food processors to reduce refrigerant leaks, transition to climate-friendly systems, and use carbon finance to make sustainable upgrades economically viable. The company also helps divert food waste from landfills, reduce methane emissions, and create new revenue streams through carbon markets.

This conversation explores the intersection of climate technology, finance, and global supply chains — and why the key to scaling climate solutions is making the right decision both environmentally and economically.

Topics covered:

• Super pollutants and why they matter
• Refrigeration and climate impact
• Carbon credits and carbon finance
• Food waste and methane reduction
• Scaling climate solutions globally
• The business model behind climate tech adoption
