Discover the Case for Natural Refrigerants at ATMOsphere America

*On June 1, 2023 Emerson’s Climate Technologies business became a new standalone company – Copeland. Though our name has changed, we are building on more than a century of HVACR innovation and industry leadership, and Copeland continues to offer the same products, industry stewardship, and learning opportunities you’ve grown to trust. Information found on this webpage posted before June 1, 2023 may contain our old name or branding, but you can be at ease knowing it was created with the knowledge and expertise of Copeland. 

For decades, natural refrigerants have been used worldwide as environmentally friendly alternatives to high-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants or ozone depleting substances (ODS). As the U.S. commercial refrigeration industry faces an imminent phasedown of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, the stage is set for natural refrigerants like CO₂ and R-290 to play much larger roles. Emerson is pleased to announce our participation in the ATMOsphere America Summit 2022 on June 7–8, where our experts will present new data that supports the expanding business case for natural refrigerants.

With the phasedown of high-GWP HFC refrigerants underway, commercial and industrial refrigeration stakeholders are actively planning for the next generation of refrigerant technologies. As corporate-led environmental initiatives are pledging to use more sustainable equipment, CO₂ and R-290 are widely considered to be among the leading natural refrigerant candidates to anchor future refrigeration strategies.

Today’s market is evolving rapidly — and Emerson is at the leading edge of technological advancements supporting the use of these proven natural alternatives. We’ve made significant investments in research and development (R&D) projects and lab testing capabilities designed to:

• • Promote the use of low-GWP refrigerant technologies
  • Support original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in their design cycles
  • Help end users to make successful refrigerant transitions

Join us at the ATMOsphere America Summit 2022

As a gold sponsor of the upcoming ATMOsphere America Summit 2022, Emerson is looking forward to presenting data from our recent R&D efforts which explore the expanding role of natural refrigerants. This in-person only event will take place on June 7–8 in Washington, D.C., at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center. Join peers, industry experts, policy makers, end users and contractors to explore the latest natural refrigerant trends and technologies.

Emerson’s participation will feature informative sessions and panel discussions highlighting our latest natural refrigerant research:

• Making the case for sustainable CO₂ in supermarket refrigeration (June 7 at 2 p.m. EDT) — which will be presented by me and Zero Zone
• Exploring the climate zone impacts on CO₂ system selection (June 8 at 10 a.m. EDT) — which will be presented by me
• Panel discussion sharing the latest policy and market trends impacting natural refrigerants (June 7 at 11 a.m. EDT) — which will be presented by me

If your company is interested in exploring a future based on natural refrigerants, then register now and make plans for attending this in-person event. Be sure to stop by any of the Emerson sessions and ask how we can help you on your journey to more sustainable refrigeration.
