Personally, I think what you guys are doing is awesome.

The problem I have with carbon credits is that it's just as easy for you to take the refrigerant and just release it into the atmosphere. Or you could just take the carbon credits and no do anything. Or you make some honest effort for half the credits, but then not do anything for half of the other credits you sell.

Who audits you? Who regulates your carbon credits?

Or carbon credits can more like a rent rather than a more permanent solution: "We'll pay the farmers to not burn these acres of the amazon rain forest for another year." What happens when the farmers want 10x more money next year? Are you going to pay them?
