(HC & CO2) collectively installed
=> 43.5 million tonnes of avoided CO2
(equivalent emissions of more than 8.86
million passenger cars over one year)

8. HYDROCARBON PLUG INS IN SM & CVS
Global market estimate (August 2018) =

12. CO2 IN INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION
TC CO2 - gaining grounds in industrial refrigeration in different parts of
the world
Bigger capacity compressors + other components for larger
applications becoming available from several key suppliers
Technology especially suitable for small industrial ref (below 300kW)
where HFCs were traditionally been used, but also used in larger
installations
More than 25 companies known to be providing TC CO2 systems for
industrial applications globally
TC CO2 for industrial refrigeration is expected to grow five-fold by
2020.

13. Industrial refrigeration traditionally
dominated by ammonia and HFCs is
experiencing transition to ‘next-
generation technologies’
• Increased safety —> lower risk
• Higher efficiency
• Easier servicing
• ROI for the end-user
LOW-CHARGE AMMONIA

14. HYDROCARBON ROOM AC
CHINA:
• 18 RAC production lines to R290 with a production
capacity of 4,500,000 units per year
• Eight major Chinese room air conditioner (RAC)
makers committed to selling no less than 220,000
propane (R290) split-type RAC units in the domestic
Chinese market by mid-2019 -> 160,000 units sold
(August 2019)
INDIA:
• RAC manufacturer Godrej sold 600,000 R290 split-
type RAC systems (Sept 2018)

15. HYDROCARBON CHILLERS
Growing interest in HC based water chillers targeting
commercial air-conditioning and process cooling
applications.
Growing number of manufacturers: SRS Frigadon, JCI,
Euroklimat, GEA, CTA, Cool-Therm, Geoclima,
Bundgaard, RSA Cooling, Roccheggani, Aicool
(Indonesia)

Rolling out propane
chillers in Indonesia
With the support of the German Ministry
of Environment (BMU), the Indonesian
government and local manufacturers,
Indonesia is beginning to roll out propane
chillers in the commercial and industrial
sectors, setting the stage for more natural
refrigerant uptake in the country.

Looking to the future
with CO2 heat pumps
Thailand-based Charoen Pokphand
Foods is one of the largest food
processing companies in the world. By
installing CO2 heat pumps at one of its
facilities, it is demonstrating how natural
refrigerant systems can help Southeast
Asian companies to mitigate greenhouse
gas emissions while sustaining growth
in today's fast-paced economy.
– By Devin Yoshimoto & Jan Dusek
C
haroen Pokphand Foods (CP Foods), a subsidiary
of Thailand's largest conglomerate, Charoen
Pokphand Group (CP Group), is one of the largest
food processing, distribution and retail companies
in the world.
At the heart of the company's business operation is the
processing of livestock such as shrimp, chicken or pork and
the production of ready-made meals. Though headquartered in
Bangkok, CP Foods focuses on growing its business overseas,
operating food manufacturing and processing facilities in
Southeast Asia, China and India, and also exporting to Europe
and most recently the United States.
As one of Southeast Asia's largest businesses, CP
Foods understands its leadership role when it comes
to environmentally sustainable business growth
and development.
According to the company's 2017 Sustainability Report,
CP Foods aims to reduce energy consumption by 15% and
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 15% per production unit
by 2020 (compared to the base year 2015).

30. CONCLUSIONS - SOUTHEAST ASIA LEAPFROGGING TO NR?
• Global market opportunities are shifting to Southeast Asia
• HC is good fit for high ambient temperatures countries (high efficiency, simple, cost-
effective)
• Low-charge ammonia systems are penetrating industrial refrigeration
• Training on NR is happening
• Revision of safety standards, awareness rising, more training of technicians needed
• Milestone projects wit NatRefs planned to be completed in 2019
• With the increased HC charge limit and the continued momentum with training,
transcritical CO2 and low charge ammonia technology, we expect the market in SEA to
develop rapidly in the next few years
