(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 “Building a Resilient Refrigerant Supply for the Low-GWP Transition,” on Monday, September 21, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. ET at NASDAQ MarketSite.   The event is part of Climate Week NYC 2026, the world’s largest climate event and a global platform for advancing climate and economic progress at scale. Each year, Climate Week NYC brings together more than 100,000 people across 1,000+ events across New York City. Participants include leaders who shape and deliver change across business, government, finance, and civil society, with the event connecting the people and ideas that are building a low-carbon economy. The Hudson-sponsored panel, moderated by Ken Gaglione, President and Chief Executive Officer, will feature representatives from the refrigerant industry, credentialed scientists, and experienced researchers to discuss the upcoming AIM Act-mandated reduction in HFC refrigerant production allowances and the expected corresponding supply shortage. Among other issues, the panel will discuss strategies to meet demand from the installed base of legacy HFC equipment as supply tightens, including expanding industry-wide recovery efforts, developing innovative separation technology for mixed refrigerants, and supporting the transition to next-generation, lower GWP refrigerants and cooling equipment.
