Understanding Refrigerant Policy Drivers and Practical Implications
In the midst of a changing policy landscape impacting the refrigeration industry, professionals are uncertain about where new regulations will lead and how that will affect them and their business.
During this symposium, panelists will share their outlook on regulatory issues, industry and policy trends. Then, the panelists will discuss their approach to navigating new regulations, adopting new innovations, and making strategic, long-term decisions for business.
Together, the panelists will educate on the importance of meeting environmental and regulatory needs and discuss how solutions exist to meet both business and environmental imperatives. The panelists will examine the global environmental regulatory landscape as well as the approaches, considerations and lessons learned as businesses adapt.

Vapor compression for a decarbonised energy grid
It is well known that vapor compression is a major electricity consumer and the demand for cooling and heating is assumed to grow. How can this become sustainable as the need for decarbonized energy systems is increasing? Decarbonization of heating and cooling implies usage of decarbonized electricity supply. It means vapor compression has to play together with fluctuating supply – and fluctuating cost. To make vapor compression a future viable and sustainable process it is crucial to state the importance of exploring the possibilities for demand side flexibility, thermal storage and energy efficiency.
Our symposium will give two presentations each showing examples of how heating and cooling can be effectively integrated into external energy supply grids.
