LG is continuously innovating its technologies to support carbon emission reduction efforts, energy conservation, and to make living more sustainable, which includes use of lower-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants such as R-32. Hudson Technologies’ EMERALD Refrigerants are certified reclaimed refrigerants produced in the United States.

EMERALD Refrigerants help reduce the unintended release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and, as a recycled product, combat the environmental impact associated with the production of new virgin refrigerants. They meet or exceed AHRI 700 specifications and contain only certified verifiable reclaimed refrigerant.
