A Danish convenience store covered 100% of its heating demand from refrigeration waste heat — through the coldest winter in over a decade, and exported the surplus to the city grid.

This issue looks at what happens after the refrigerant decision is made: how CO₂ systems perform once installed, and how much of their potential as an energy hub holds up in real operation.

Inside:

  • Beyond Refrigeration: how CO₂ systems become the energy hub of food retail — with Danfoss, Copeland, Modine, Evapco, Enex, Panasonic, METRO
  • 48°C transcritical CO₂ operation in Sydney (SWEP)
  • Boiler eliminated, −20% energy at Migros Bellinzona (Eliwell)
  • 127 kW of heat recovered with liquid-ejector technology (Enex)
  • CO₂ container systems for a 44,129 m² London depot (Refra)
  • Interviews: Johnson Controls, Enex Technologies, Refrigeration Mentor
