For its second year ATMOsphere Asia returned to Tokyo, where the prestigious Shin-Maru Conference Square welcomed over 160 participants, aiming to support the adoption of natural refrigerant technology in Asia and beyond. Titled, “Natural Refrigerants – Solutions for Asia”, the event provided a platform for 33 international presentations covering policy, market trends, the newest technology and innovation across all five natural refrigerants: CO2, ammonia, hydrocarbons, water and air. Manufacturers, end users, policy makers and academics discussed advancements in natural refrigerant-based technology and exchanged insights on the best way to develop solutions adapted to current domestic and international legislative measures, for commercial and industrial refrigeration, heating and air conditioning. With JPY 6.2 billion (€46.5 million) in subsidies for natural refrigerants in 2015 and green procurement policies set for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, a dynamic market environment has been created for business leaders to continue driving the transition towards low GWP (global warming potential) refrigerants around the globe.
