Nearly 200 countries struck a landmark deal today to reduce the emissions of powerful greenhouse gases, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), in a move that could prevent up to 0.5 degrees Celsius of global warming by the end of this century.
CAREL talk through their new control solutions for small-scale CO2 systems and outline their expectations for the future of CO2 as a refrigerant.

Stationary air-conditioning, commercial refrigeration and domestic refrigeration make up 80 percent of India’s installed cooling capacity. Currently 90 percent of India’s cooling capacity and annual refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) is based on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) refrigerants, about 10 percent is based on naturals.
Tecumseh showcased its new hydrocarbon compressor range at Chillventa 2016.
The report, published on 12 October, was prepared by shecco on behalf of the Greens European Parliament political group and shows a marked increase in CO2 transcritical stores and companies that are working with natural refrigerants.
With global HFC phase-down discussions and the drive for energy efficiency improvements picking up speed, the market for hydrocarbon technology is ripe for growth – particularly in the United States, SECOP CEO Mogens Søholm told at Chillventa 12 October.

Global policy efforts to phase down HFCs at this week’s Montreal Protocol meeting in Kigali – alongside strong regulation in place in Europe and the United States – are creating opportunities for natural refrigerant technologies worldwide, heard participants in today’s Chillventa Congress.
The 2016 Antarctic Ozone Hole size reached 23 million km2, 5 million km2 smaller than the record 2015 hole, whose larger size was due to colder-than-average temperatures in the stratosphere, while warmer temperatures were encountered this year.
Chillventa 2016 is bigger than ever, with a 13% increase in the size of the display area. From 11 to 13 October 2016, on what will be its fifth appearance, Chillventa will once again turn Exhibition Centre Nuremberg into the world’s biggest and most important international gathering for the refrigeration, AC, ventilation and heat pump sector. As always, the Chillventa CONGRESS was held the day before the trade fair. As in previous years, the conference is quite impressive with its high-calibre programme and top class speakers from all over the world.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon 5 October formally made a Depository Notification communicating that the Paris Agreement will enter into force on 4 November 2016.
As the 28th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol (MoP28) gets underway in Kigali, Rwanda, the momentum to tackle dangerous climate change has never been greater.
The wide acceptance of new technologies depends on a myriad of factors, in the technological, economic and social field, that form part of a complex network of interactions. Both innovators and technology adopters share a common concern for respecting the economic bottom-line and for choosing solutions that provide the highest possible level of investment security while being framed by solid industry support and favourable policy conditions.
The wide acceptance of new technologies depends on a myriad of factors, in the technological, economic and social field, that form part of a complex network of interactions. Both innovators and technology adopters share a common concern for respecting the economic bottom-line and for choosing solutions that provide the highest possible level of investment security while being framed by solid industry support and favourable policy conditions. The industrial refrigeration industry is no exception to this. While the use of ammonia has not been challenged on grounds of lacking energy efficiency nor overall environmental benefits, the trend towards reducing the refrigerant charge for increased safety is currently changing the industry.
