Industry initiative helps to promote broader use of natural refrigerants
St. Louis, July 24, 2019 – Emerson (NYSE: EMR) announced its participation in a webinar sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) GreenChill program. Two of its experts from Emerson Commercial and Residential Solutions, Andre Patenaude, director of food retail marketing and growth strategy-cold chain, and John Wallace, director of innovation, will join the discussion on “Making the Transition to an Effective National Refrigerant Architecture” on Tuesday, July 30, at 2 p.m. EDT (11 a.m. PDT).
Over the last decade, Emerson has been a leader in the development of natural refrigerant-ready components and systems. At this free GreenChill webinar, attendees will learn more about:
“For several years, the use of natural refrigerants in supermarket refrigeration has become an increasingly relevant topic across our industry,” said Patenaude. “While taking a natural approach may seem like a far-away future concept to some, successful implementations are happening in various global regions and slowly becoming more commonplace in the U.S., as well.”
Wallace agreed, “Typically, discussions about natural refrigerants are part of a larger context, one that recognizes the ongoing transition from legacy refrigerants to sustainable alternatives. Here, natural refrigerants are among the most readily available, viable options, because they offer very low global warming potential (GWP) and no ozone depletion potential (ODP). But with relatively low adoption in U.S. supermarkets, there is still a fair amount of uncertainty among operators considering a move to natural refrigerant systems.”
Backed by innovations from leading equipment manufacturers, regional governance incentives and federal sustainability programs, the transition to natural refrigerants is more viable today than ever before.
