Natural refrigerants play an important role in that. » « The technology is available to make sustainable refrigerant solutions in Northern Europa - the question is if the EC is ready for this technology. » « Large end-users have a responsibility to drive innovation for minimising the environmental impact of their cold chain. Natural refrigerants play an important role in that. » « Ammonia is such an efficient refrigerant that industry could never afford to move away from it. » « Anyone who thought that the F Gas Regulations have neutralised the HFC problem needs to think again. Halocarbon emissions still account for some 13% of man made global warming. » « Natural Refrigerants will dominate the market in commercial and industrial refrigeration within several years. » « This conference is essential in the run up to Copenhagen. It needs to persuade the EU to investigate how trade standards hinder the adoption of natural refrigerants. » « Hydrocarbons refrigerants are an excellent alternative for HCFCs. » « Just as the world is waking up to the need to respond urgently to climate change, we now understand the impact of high GWP refrigerants is many times worse than even we had imagined. » « Natural Refrigerants provide the only environmentally acceptable alternatives to synthetic refrigerants. » « Atmosphere 2009 must play a transformative and catalytic role in ensuring natural refrigerant solutions are urgently rolled out across the globe. » « Marginal income from carbon markets will affect the competitiveness of natural refrigerants. » « Atmosphere 2009 needs to ensure that policymakers understand that we stand ready to provide the solutions required by the imperative amendment of both the ozone and climate treaties later this year. » « For commercial refrigeration applications in supermarkets, I see CO2 as the future refrigerant. » « I believe that natural refrigerants offer the most efficient cooling systems. » « Hydrocarbons are used safely in all walks of life from hairspray and cooking gas to fuel for cars and airplanes. » If you want to meet our speakers, join us at ATMOsphere 2010  |
