Hudson Technologies Joins Global Cool Coalition to Advance Sustainable Cooling Solutions
Hudson Technologies, a leading provider of innovative and sustainable refrigerant products and services, has announced its membership in the Cool Coalition, a global network focused on promoting efficient and climate-friendly cooling solutions. The Cool Coalition, assembled by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), aims to bring together various stakeholders from government, cities, businesses, academia, and civil society to facilitate joint action towards a rapid global transition to sustainable cooling.
With over 100 partners, including 23 countries, the Cool Coalition operates under three key pillars: advocacy, action, and knowledge exchange. Recognizing the importance of efficient and climate-friendly cooling for both industrialized and developing nations, the organization promotes a cross-sectoral approach that encompasses urban form, energy efficiency, renewables, thermal storage, and the phasing down of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
The Cool Coalition highlights the urgent need for sustainable cooling practices, as approximately 30% of the global population is exposed to life-threatening temperatures for at least 20 days per year. Heatwaves already result in 12,000 deaths worldwide, and these numbers are expected to rise with the planet’s increasing temperatures. By collaborating on science, policy, finance, and technology, Cool Coalition members aim to meet the growing demand for cooling while raising climate ambition and supporting the Sustainable Development Goals.
Hudson Technologies’ commitment to environmental stewardship and supporting the circular economy for refrigerants makes its inclusion in the Cool Coalition a natural fit. The company has a proven track record in providing environmentally sustainable solutions, from the sale of refrigerants to recovery, reclamation, and reuse. Additionally, Hudson offers a range of servicing options that promote energy efficiency, emergency HVAC system repair, refrigerant end-of-life management, and carbon credit development.
Brian F. Coleman, President and CEO of Hudson Technologies, expressed enthusiasm about joining the Cool Coalition and accelerating the global transition to efficient and climate-friendly cooling alternatives. By working with other coalition members, Hudson Technologies aims to advance sustainable cooling practices and products, contributing to a greener future.
Hudson Technologies, Inc. is a leading provider of innovative and sustainable refrigerant products and services to the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration industry.
