Featured Issue: 2026/2 — CO₂ Refrigeration & Heat Recovery Special Edition
Welcome to the 10th issue of Refrigeration Industry Magazine. This edition looks at what happens after the refrigerant decision is made. Across food retail, CO₂ transcritical systems are moving toward default inclusion in new builds, and the conversation has shifted from refrigerant choice to how well these systems perform once installed — and how much of their potential as an energy hub, heating buildings and producing hot water alongside cooling, holds up in real operation.
In this issue, you'll discover:
- Market Analysis: Beyond Refrigeration — How CO₂ Systems Are Becoming the Energy Hub of Modern Food Retail. The Danfoss Smart Store covered 100% of its heating demand from refrigeration waste heat through the coldest winter in over a decade, with input from Copeland, Modine, Evapco, Enex, Panasonic, METRO, Frigo-Consulting, and Refrigeration Mentor across Europe and North America.
- Market Research: NASRC projections for CO₂ growth in U.S. food retail through 2029, plus the Refindustry 2025 year-in-review.
- Event Focus: MCE 2026 review from Milan — natural refrigerants and data centre cooling — and EuroShop 2026 highlights from Düsseldorf.
- Interviews: Jens von Ebbe (Johnson Controls) on three years of HVAC market shifts in EMEA; François Audo (Enex Technologies) on building a portfolio across all natural refrigerants; Trevor Matthews (Refrigeration Mentor) on closing the refrigeration skills gap.
- Case Studies: Real-world applications from SWEP, Eliwell, Eurovent Certification, Enex Technologies, and Refra — covering 48°C transcritical operation in Sydney, boiler elimination and −20% energy at Migros Bellinzona, the gap between declared and measured gas cooler performance, 127 kW of heat recovered with liquid-ejector technology in a Romanian supermarket, and CO₂ container systems for a 44,129 m² London depot.
Stay informed, inspired, and ready to lead in sustainable refrigeration. Happy reading!
