Atmosphere Japan 2020

Key discussion points in this year's conference will include: Policy and Regulatory developments

• Upcoming F-gas regulation revision: After 5 years, Japan's F-Gas Law is planned to be reviewed, with the process starting in 2020. The revision represents an opportunity to address the lack of ambition in some aspects in comparison to F-Gas regulation in Europe.
• The IEC vote and ongoing HC risk assessment are affecting the hydrocarbons market as it expands from the light commercial sector into a wider range of applications in commercial refrigeration.
• Ongoing subsidies by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment continue to drive the market for NatRefs in commercial and industrial refrigeration applications.

• Industrial Refrigeration: Low charge ammonia based solutions are now competing with CO₂ TC systems being newly offered by several players.
• Commercial Refrigeration: CO₂ TC condensing units have been the traditional NatRef solution for Japanese retailers. Recent years, however, have shown an increased acceptance of hydrocarbon plug-in showcases and in 2019 there was an emergence of a new proposition: R290 water loop systems.
• Light commercial refrigeration & other applications: Japan has always been a strong R&D hub with Kigali bringing a wave of attention and investment into HFC-free solutions. In 2020, we expect to see new technologies harnessing the power of natural refrigerants in new and specialised industries.
