Technology: Use Potential for Natural<br />
Refrigerants<br />
As the world market with the highest present potential<br />
for natural working fluids, Europe’s markets for heating,<br />
refrigeration and air-conditioning show different<br />
capacities to revert to or remain “natural”. See a simple<br />
table rating the stage of technology development for<br />
ammonia, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons systems in<br />
selected end-use applications which serves as a starting<br />
point for keeping track of future technology advances,<br />
on. . .<br />
Policy: An Evaluation Grid for EU<br />
Legislation<br />
Laws, standards and rules are among the decisive factors<br />
for building a prosperous business around natural<br />
refrigerants within a framework of investment security<br />
and joint leadership. See a rating of European Union<br />
legislation and initiatives as regards their impact on<br />
adopting HFC-free solutions, their overall enforcement<br />
potential, and their vision & sustainability, as well as<br />
outstanding national strategies serving as a role model,<br />

A Success Story: CO 2<br />
Transcritical<br />
Supermarkets<br />
With an estimated 1,300+ European food retail stores<br />
using CO 2<br />
transcritical refrigeration systems, their use<br />
is constantly spreading from a few leadership markets<br />
to other countries, pushing the “temperature equator”<br />
for an energy-efficient use of R744 further south. See a<br />
map showing the CO 2<br />
-only supermarkets per European<br />
country, and the reasons why different national<br />
strategies can lead to the same favourable result for HFCfree<br />
solutions, on…<br />
