A phase down of virgin HFC production, supported by use of reclaimed refrigerants, will avoid releasing the equivalent of 100 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and prevent more than 0.5˚ C of warming by 2050.

Leading carbon offset project developer
Through a partnership with Bluesource, the nation’s leading carbon offset developer and retailer, Hudson and Bluesource work together initiating carbon projects to develop and market high quality, voluntary carbon offsets resulting from the reclamation of HFC refrigerants. We work across the country using the American Carbon Registry’s Certified Reclaimed HFC Refrigerants protocol.
Due to the availability of inexpensive virgin HFCs from overseas, HFC refrigerants have historically had a low level of reclamation when compared to other refrigerant types. Hudson believes there is an opportunity to quickly and cost-effectively reclaim HFC refrigerants far beyond current reclaim levels.
Executed in advance of any regulatory requirements, these projects encourage the acceleration of GHG emission reductions from the refrigerant industry, which Project Drawdown (a leading Climate Change Solutions Non-profit) identified as one of the top solutions to address global climate change.
SINCE COMPANY’S INCEPTION, EMISSIONS PREVENTED BY REUSE OF HUDSON’S RECLAIMED REFRIGERANTS
ESTIMATED TO BE THE EQUIVALENT OF ANNUAL CARBON EMISSIONS OF GREATER THAN 10 MILLION CARS
