The data paints a promising future; however, the question remains: who’s going to install and maintain all of these R-744 systems?

Don Cole, a refrigeration expert, highlights how the integration of a CO₂ system made for a flawless start-up in a Zero Zone installation, showcasing the smooth commissioning process and seamless operation in a new retail store.

Chillventa 2024, held Oct. 13-15 in Nuremberg, Germany, showcased some of the world’s most innovative technologies to more than 33,000 attendees from 49 countries. Through more than 250 presentations, visitors were privy to the latest developments driving innovation throughout the HVAC industry.

As the industry continues to evolve, it’s essential for HVACR contractors to embrace comprehensive training programs that address both foundational knowledge and hands-on experience with CO₂ systems.

CO₂ refrigeration, which has gained significant traction in ice arenas and supermarket coolers, is now emerging as a groundbreaking technology revolutionizing the way we cool and heat across industries worldwide.

As Americans embrace a more sustainable future, the refrigeration equipment and architecture must continue to evolve

The escalating demand for sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally conscious cooling technologies presents a compelling business case for CO₂ refrigeration. And U.S. businesses are taking notice.

In the ongoing battle against climate change, the U.S. supermarket sector is relentlessly pursuing innovative strategies to reduce its carbon footprint and enhance energy efficiency.

CO₂ refrigeration (R-744) was selected to cool four ice rinks at the Winter Olympics, curbing carbon emissions to the tune of 1.2 million planted trees.

The commercial and industrial refrigeration sector is going green. This evolution is largely dictated by corporate environmental, social, and governance efforts; the demand for greater energy efficiency; government regulations; net-zero energy goals; and more.
