This presentation provides a historical overview of global CO₂ technology developments during the past decade, closely examining the technology advances, implementation and adoption in the global industrial refrigeration and food retail segments. A specific overview of CO₂ systems in North America is depicted showing a current case study of the first transcritical CO₂ booster system installed in the US. The presentation also covers design benefits, system challenges, efficiency thresholds compared to other refrigerants, and concludes with an outlook for how the North America market can overcome adoption barriers - specifically training and capital costs constraints.
