Underscoring its commitment to environmental stewardship, LG Air Conditioning Technologies USA is working with Hudson Technologies, Inc., a globally renowned provider of innovative and sustainable refrigerant products and services to the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration industry, to support LG Air Conditioning Technology USA’s customer base with access to Hudson’s reclaimed EMERALD Refrigerants™.

Darren Gibula, Vice President of Operations for LG Air Conditioning Technologies USA, said aligning with Hudson Technologies supports LG’s global sustainability vision of a 'Better Life for All'.

Adoption of refrigerants

Darren Gibula said, "At LG, we’re committed to efforts to reduce carbon emissions and drive the future of cleaner energy through our all-electric heat pump HVAC products, the introduction of hydronics solutions and the adoption of refrigerants with a lower GWP (Global Warming Potential)."

He adds, "Leveraging Hudson’s extensive experience in reclaimed refrigerants will enable LG to help our customers meet new California refrigerant-related regulations, as well as reinforce our efforts to deliver more eco-conscious solutions for end-users nationwide."

EMERALD Refrigerants

Hudson Technologies’ EMERALD Refrigerants are certified reclaimed refrigerants made in the USA

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.

Refrigerant management

Kate Houghton, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing for Hudson Technologies, commented, "With our industry-pioneering reclamation technology and long-standing commitment to responsible, sustainable refrigerant management, Hudson is delighted to work with LG in support of providing more environmentally friendly products that operate using reclaimed refrigerants."

She adds, "Together, Hudson and LG can make a tremendous impact as the industry transitions to cleaner, more environmentally-friendly, cooling solutions.

Heat pump HVAC solutions

Kate Houghton continues: "LG’s environmental leadership and award-winning heat pump HVAC solutions make them the perfect partner for Hudson and our longtime focus on responsible refrigerant management and sustainable practices."

Darren Gibula said: "By leveraging emerging technologies and thoughtful resources, LG products can help deliver peak performance, energy efficiency, and cost savings, while adapting to the dynamic conditions of residences or buildings."
