On May 19, 2026, FMHero Co-Founder Adam Dykstra joined Laura Garcia Cancino and Ben Baraga of the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment for the REEF x CCSI webinar: The Refrigerant, Circularity, and Efficiency Nexus.
The session explored how the HVAC sector can decarbonize the built environment while meeting growing heating and cooling demand through three mutually reinforcing pillars: transitioning to low-GWP, PFAS-free refrigerants; strengthening refrigerant circularity through recovery, reuse, and leakage prevention; and accelerating deployment of high-efficiency technologies like heat pumps.
The Heroverse was built for exactly this moment. When every service event is documented, every cylinder tracked, and every pound of refrigerant traced through its full lifecycle, the industry stops guessing and starts knowing. That’s not just a compliance story. It’s a circularity story.
