Scott Martin from Hillphoenix discusses the market potential for CO2 and points out its fast growth in Central Europe. He also highlights the fact that for Europe’s TOP10 retailers, CO2 booster systems represent their first technology choice, a trend he believes will continue in the coming years. Kim Christensen from Advansor points out that the demand for transcritical CO2 systems in Europe is expected to grow rapidly resulting in a significant boost with respect to the annual production capacity. He also discusses incentives for investment in CO2 technology stemming from the F-Gas regulation.He awaits a reduction in first costs for CO2 transcritical boosters in small stores and recognises the uptake of the market for all-inclusive racks. Finally, he urges North America to invest in CO2 transcritical systems benefiting from the European experience.
