ATMOsphere Europe 2011 focuses on European regulation, technological solutions and end-users’ needs:

• Policy session about F-gases: The new EU F-Gas Regulation – What’s in it for Natural Refrigerants?
• Policy session about Ecodesign Directive: Developments and their impact on Natural Refrigerants
• EU position for the Post-Kyoto commitment period
• Panel debate with major Consumer Brands about integrating natural refrigerants into their operations
• Panel debate with leading European retailers about the future of Natural Refrigerants in commercial refrigeration

By hosting European Commission officials and European Parliament Members, retailers and consumer brand representatives and selected industry members presenting case studies, ATMOsphere Europe 2011 ensures participants productive workshops as well as knowledge about product potential. Barriers to the development of natural refrigerants will be also highlighted as much as possible solutions for their quick update.
