The state of the natural refrigerant industry and emerging trends were addressed at this year’s ATMOsphere America, organised in Atlanta from 25-26 June, with two separate sessions gathering stakeholder evaluations of the current market for CO₂, ammonia and hydrocarbons in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Developments across a whole range of end uses were presented during two sessions of the first day of ATMOsphere America 2015, indicative of a growing confidence across the board in natural refrigerant technology. Alongside the views presented by the system and component suppliers, several end-users confirmed plans to push their roll-outs of natural refrigerants-based equipment.
