Woodcliff Lake, NJ – September 12, 2024 – Hudson Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HDSN) a leading provider of innovative and sustainable refrigerant products and services to the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration industry – and one of the nation’s largest refrigerant reclaimers, today announced that it will host a panel discussion “Reclaiming the Future-Capitalizing on Emissions Reduction Opportunities in Refrigerant Management,” on Monday, September 23, 2024 at 11:30 a.m. The event, which will be held at the NASDAQ MarketSite, is part of Climate Week NYC 2024, the largest annual climate event of its kind, bringing together more than 600 events and activities across the City of New York.
The Hudson-hosted panel discussion will focus on the soon-to-be-released Rocky Mountain Institute (“RMI”) report assessing the climate impacts of refrigerant reclamation. Effectively managing refrigerants at the end of their life is a critical action in the fight against climate change. Expert panelists, Ankit Kalanki, RMI Principal; Liane Randolph, Chair of the California Air Resources Board; and Karen Meyers, Global Vice President, Government Affairs at Rheem Manufacturing, will discuss the report’s findings on how the US can further reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the refrigerant sector by stimulating the recovery and subsequent reclamation of the widely used refrigerant R-410A from end-of-life residential equipment. RMI will discuss their analysis showing that lifecycle emissions from reclaiming R-410a are significantly lower than virgin production. The conversation will also address how reclamation initiatives can reduce building and facility emissions and do so cost-effectively.
Brian F. Coleman, President & Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies commented, “We are pleased to have the opportunity to sponsor this important panel discussion as part of Climate Week NYC 2024. As the United States continues through the phase down of HFCs, we look forward to bringing together this esteemed group of industry and non-profit experts to share perspectives on managing the gaps between supply and demand during the phasedown and capitalizing on the emission reduction opportunity enabled by improved lifecycle refrigerant management. As an early adopter of products and practices to promote the circular economy for refrigerant , Hudson welcomes this opportunity to continue our efforts to drive the global transition to more climate friendly and sustainable approaches to cooling and refrigeration. We look forward to an informative session and thank NASDAQ for providing the venue and our panel participants for their participation in this valuable discussion.”
