Brian F. Coleman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies, commented, “Hudson’s commitment to supporting the circular economy for refrigerants and environmental stewardship is a fundamental element of our operations. Joining the Cool Coalition is a natural fit, complementing our goal to accelerate the global transition to efficient and climate-friendly cooling alternatives. Hudson has proven success providing environmentally sustainable solutions for all cooling needs -- from the initial sale of refrigerant through recovery, reclamation, and reuse as well as through our portfolio of servicing options which help promote peak operating performance of equipment through energy efficiency and emergency HVAC system repair, as well as refrigerant end-of-life management and carbon credit development. We look forward to working with the members of the Cool Coalition to advance efficient, effective and sustainable cooling practices and products to ease and accelerate the transition to greener cooling systems and refrigerants.”

Key Points: 
  • According to the Cool Coalition , “Around 30 percent of the world’s population is exposed to life-threatening temperatures for at least 20 days a year, and heat waves already lead to 12,000 deaths worldwide.
