Deliver climate impact this decade
Not all carbon credits are created equal. Superpollutants like methane and legacy refrigerants drive a disproportionate share of near-term warming, but reducing them delivers climate benefits within years, not decades.
Our projects focus on the rapid identification, collection, and permanent elimination of these high impact gases, offering companies a way to achieve immediate, verifiable emissions reductions while supporting long-term decarbonization strategies.

Why superpollutants?
Traditional carbon strategies are essential, but they often take decades to fully materialize. Superpollutant mitigation addresses the urgency gap by providing immediate and long-lasting impact. Short-term climate pollutants, like fluorinated and methane gases, can be dozens to thousands of times more potent than CO2. Preventing the release of these emissions offers near-term protections that reduce the risk of reaching critical climate thresholds and quickly lower atmospheric warming.
-
Superpollutant reductions are essential to meeting the 1.5°C target.
Without them, even aggressive CO2 cuts will fall short.
-
The return on investment is striking.
Every dollar invested in superpollutant mitigation creates four times the environmental benefit compared to CO2-focused strategies.
-
Immediate solutions are ready to scale.
For example, destroying fluorinated gases from old appliances and plugging methane leaks can prevent up to 500 million tons of CO2e for the same $10B currently spent on carbon capture technologies – over 100x more impact.
-
Redirecting just 20% of the global carbon market could eliminate 2.5 gigatons of emissions.
That’s equal to shutting down more than 600 coal plants for a year.
Build a complete climate portfolio
Leading companies are integrating superpollutant credits to:
- Address near-term emissions gaps
- Strengthen Scope 3 strategies
- Respond to stakeholder pressure for immediate results
- Balance long-term investments with short-term impact
Investing in superpollutants balances long-term net-zero goals with immediate results, creating a more complete climate portfolio.
The fastest path to climate impact
Tradewater works to identify, collect, and mitigate potent greenhouse gases all around the world. Our projects permanently prevent superpollutants emitting into the atmosphere through the destruction of halocarbons and plugging of orphaned wells. This essential work enables us to provide verified, high quality carbon credits that helps anyone achieve their near-term climate goals.
Our approach is grounded in science and aligned with globally recognized methodologies for greenhouse gas accounting and verification. Each project is designed to ensure additionality, permanence, and measurable impact—key criteria for high quality carbon credits.
When you choose Tradewater, you’re investing in a proven, results-driven program with a measurable impact.
