Nina Masson - Natural Refrigerants in the EU HVAC&R industry: market & policy climate
PDF document
published on 11 October 2011
shecco initiated the world’s largest industry survey to illustrate and quantify the market potential of natural working fluids. The objective was to create a basis of reference and to inform industry, end-users and policy about market state, trends and drivers for natural refrigerants, the adoption potential per world region and the barriers to and opportunities in the use of CO2, NH3, HC. The presentations summarises the key findings of the survey and gives a glimpse at THE GUIDE - Market growth for Europe.

Thomas Nowak - Market trends of heat pumps and natural refrigerants
PDF document
published on 11 October 2011
The Secretary General of the European Heat Pump Association gives a first overview of the European Heat Pump Statistics “Outlook 2011”. A first glance shows that accumulated sales have been 3,77 million units in the period 2005-2010 in 20 European markets. The growth amongst the different markets is however not the same. The presentation gives an overview of the geographical differences and European policies impacting on heat pump trends.

Katja Becken - Implementation of F-Gas Reg. and national efforts: experiences, lessons to learn and obstacles
PDF document
published on 11 October 2011
Becken discusses Germany’s experience and challenges with implementing the EU F-Gas Regulation, the National / International Climate Initiative, further funding of projects with natural refrigerants and findings of the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) report “Avoiding fluorinated greenhouse gases” according to which natural refrigerants can be effectively applied in most applications.

Mikkel Aaman Sørensen - Taxation and use bans as tools for reducing the use of HFCs and other high GWP gases
PDF document
published on 11 October 2011
Sørensen presents trends in uses and emissions of f-gases in Denmark before and after the introduction of use bans and taxes. He illustrates the effectiveness of different tools on reducing f-gases emissions, including support for f-gas alternatives, HFC tax and use bans, and discusses the lessons learnt from the Danish experience of implementing stricter f-gas policy.

Janusz Kozakiewicz - Policy tools for assessing and diminishing emissions of F-gases from equipment
PDF document
published on 11 October 2011
Kozakiewicz discusses the different tools available to policy makers for curbing emissions of f-gases from equipment, including direct tools (eg bans on most emissive uses, penalties for intentional venting etc) and indirect tools (eg training and certification of personnel, fee on f-gases), some of which are included in the framework of the EU F-Gas Regulation. Currently, Poland is considering going beyond the requirements of the F-Gas regulation by establishing mandatory equipment logbook keeping by operators of equipment containing at least 3kg of f-gases and establishing a Central Register of Operators where data from the logbooks are sent electronically each time f-gas containing equipment is installed, serviced or decommissioned, as well as introducing a POM fee for f-gases at the level of 0.75 €/GWP ton.
