ATMOsphere China is born!

shecco is delighted to bring its flagship event platform ATMOsphere to China in 2018!

The first-ever ATMOsphere China conference will be held in Beijing on 11-12 April 2018, corresponding with China Refrigeration (9-11 April), the largest refrigeration technology exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region.  

Truly a bridge for Chinese businesses and the global market for natural refrigerants, ATMOsphere China will be simultaneously translated in English and Chinese. 

We are excited to work with Chinese government and leading HVAC&R associations as well as some of the most advanced international and domestic manufacturers of systems and components based on natural refrigerants.

ATMOsphere China will serve as the platform to discuss about opportunities for natural refrigerants in China bringing both global and local end users to share their experiences and best practices with natural refrigerants. Representatives from Chinese Ministries will stir up a discussion together with local associations and regulatory bodies around global policy developments, thus informing and influencing key decision makers.

After the Kigali Amendment, a key moment for the HVAC&R sector, China has already started its phase-down strategies and it is moving towards natural refrigerants. This year, China has started its environmentally-friendly transition by phasing out R22 and chosing hydrocarbons as a refrigerant for air-conditioning. Ammonia and CO₂ have started to penetrate the Chinese market as well and this can already be seen in many industrial refrigeration systems. 

ATMO China 2018 will focus on light commercial, commercial and industrial refrigeration as well as heat pumps. We welcome the global industry that recognises China to be the key manufacturing hub as well as emerging exporter of natural refrigerant-based technologies to join us on 12 April to discuss the future of the industry.

 

Why go?

• Learn about natural cooling & heating solutions and reduce your energy bill

• Meet & connect with leading retailers, industrial end users, consumer goods brands, suppliers, policy makers, associations & more

• Take part in dynamic discussions and interactive panels

• Catch up on market updates and policy trends

• Expand your knowledge with technology case studies and Q&A sessions

• Site visit to METRO Beijing with CO₂ transcritical system on 13 April

The main objective of the joint UNIDO ATMOsphere Technology Summit is to provide end-users and manufacturers from developing countries, who are active in the Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning, Refrigeration (HVAC&R) and foam sectors with practical solutions for overcoming the challenges faced while introducing natural substances as refrigerants, such as CO₂, ammonia, hydrocarbons, water and air.

Taking place on 3 & 4 June 2013, at the UNIDO headquarters in Vienna, this conference will present market trends, policy updates and technology available in developing countries to around 200 industry stakeholders and decision makers from Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East as well as North and South America.

ATMOsphere Geneva 2012: Update on Natural Refrigerant Solutions

ATMOsphere side event during the 24^th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol (MOP24). This event is targeted to ozone and climate negotiators seeking technologically viable, safe and efficient alternatives to HCFCs. This panel discussion gives an update about latest developments with regards to the EU F-Gas regulation as well as Natural Refrigerant technology trends in Europe and Article 5 countries.

NATURAL REFRIGERANTS - SOLUTIONS FOR EUROPE: Already in its fourth year, this interactive workshop and conference on Natural Refrigerants (CO₂, ammonia, hydrocarbons, water, air) will be organised in Brussels from Tuesday to Wednesday, 6-7 November, with a pre-event on 5 November. This year the emphasis will be on case studies, experiences, and discussions - meaning solutions - to how natural refrigerants can be viable alternatives to f-gases across Europe.

A main topic of this year's ATMOsphere Europe will therefore be the new F-Gas Regulation that the European Commission intends to present shortly before the event. This proposal will have a significant influence on the future of natural refrigerants in Europe and the 200+ key policy and industry experts attending will have the opportunity to discuss it and give their input directly to the European Commission and Parliament representatives.

The main event will take place on 6-7 November with a unique programme mix including policy sessions, end-user panels, latest technology case studies and a variety of specialised parallel workshops. Pre-event: The afternoon and evening of the 5th November will be reserved for a smaller group for in depth discussions and preparations as well as a dinner in the European Parliament. As space is limited, this pre-event is by invitation only with priority given to our speakers and sponsors.
