In Indonesia, a start-up captures coolants to stop global warming
Jakarta (AFP) July 10, 2025 In the basement of a Jakarta housing complex, surrounded by the silver piping of the air-conditioning system, Indonesian technician Ari Sobaruddin is doing his part to tackle climate change. Ari and his colleagues will spend 12 hours capturing AC refrigerant to stop this "super-pollutant" - thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide - from leaking into the atmosphere. It is plodding, sweaty work, but Ari, a member of climate startup Recoolit, does not mind. "I love it because it's ... read more |
