Focus - Energy efficiency
In 2024, EU emissions will decrease by 20% compared to 2013: efficiency and the choice of low-impact refrigerants are key levers for refrigeration.
The European Parliament proposes a 90% reduction in emissions by 2040, with direct impacts on efficiency, refrigerants, and HVAC/R design.
A European analysis of food chain emissions highlights the importance of operational activities and refrigeration in determining the overall climate impact.
In-store refrigerators can reduce energy consumption by up to 67.5% thanks to operational optimizations, maintenance, and advanced control technologies.
Condensation leaks in reach-in refrigerators can compromise reliability and efficiency. Accurate diagnosis and preventative maintenance are essential.
The temperature-controlled transportation market is growing rapidly, driving innovation, sustainability, and new opportunities for refrigeration and HVAC/R.
At CIVUFA 2025, a strong message emerges: the cold chain is crucial for food security and sustainability. Skills, logistics, and technologies are at the heart of the global challenge.
The growing global demand for cooling requires new solutions to reduce consumption and emissions, rethinking designs, systems, and refrigerants.
Optimizing superheat, evaporators, and configurations can increase the efficiency of CO₂ systems by up to 14%, improving stability and energy savings.
Over 1 billion people live without safe cooling today; the report “Chilling Prospects 2025” calls for efficient technologies, incentives, regulations and integrated design to close the gap by 2030.
