The new EU F-Gas Regulation, expected to be published just before ATMOsphere Europe 2012, will be a hot topic during the two-day event. Also on the programme, high-level end users like Coca Cola, Red Bull, Carrefour, Sainsbury's and many more will discuss latest developments and showcase their CO2 bottle coolers. Technology case studies and innovation presentations on CO2 systems for warm climate
Over 100 organisations from across Europe have already registered to discuss “Natural Refrigerants - Solutions for Europe” at the ATMOsphere Europe 2012 conference taking place from 6-7 November in Brussels.
Receive firsthand information on the F-Gas proposal from the European Commission
With the new F-Gas proposal likely to come out shortly before the conference, high-level speakers from the European Commission will share the latest developments and first possible insights of the new proposal.
Other speakers like national experts from Germany, Denmark and Switzerland will also share their expectations of and possible first reactions to the proposal that could be a game changer for the natural refrigerant industry. The discussion will then continued in the afternoon, when key stakeholders, like the NGOs (EIA, EEB), industry associations (EPEE, EHPA) and researchers (Öko-Recherche, Re-phridge) present and debate the topic from their point of view.
Coca-Cola, Unilever, PepsiCo and Red Bull showcasing CO2 and hydrocarbon cooling equipment
With PepsiCo having installed over 147,000 HFC-free units globally by the end of 2011 and Coca-Cola over 600,000 HFC-free units in over 76 countries, the prominent consumer brands will discuss results of the equipment in use as well as future plans during a second end-user panel. The Coca-Cola Company, Unilever and McDonald's launched, in 2004, the ‘Refrigerants, Naturally!’ initiative.
Later joined by PepsiCo and Red Bull, the successful initiative will get a dedicated session at ATMOsphere Europe 2012. Representatives from Coca-Cola, Unilever and Red Bull, together with UNEP and Greenpeace, will discuss latest developments, and conference participants will be able to test how the CO2 and hydrocarbon equipment work first hand as several cabinets will be showcased and in use on site.
European supermarket increase implementation of CO2 systems
The second end user panel, focused on food retail, promises to be very exciting with a long list of retailers from all across Europe presenting their latest projects and future plans as regards natural refrigerant system roll-outs. Robert Arthur who recently retired from Marks & Spencer will be moderating and challenging the panellists with targeted questions. Overview of the panel:
In addition, Jean-Michel Fleury from Carrefour will be a speaker at the Tuesday night dinner.
CO2 for MAC, a 100kW CO2 compressor and CO2 for space heating
Technology case study presentations will be dedicated to CO2 system improvements for warm climates, heat recovery with CO2 systems, CO2 space heating heat pumps or CO2 for transport refrigeration, to name a few examples.
This year the conference will also feature a session on market innovations to complement presentations regarding already installed projects. This session will discuss innovative CO2 prototypes, as well as non-technical type of innovations. The session includes:
