The Green Cooling Summit is jointly organised by the German Environment Agency (UBA) and GIZ Proklima on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The virtual conference addresses how the transition to natural refrigerants and energy efficiency in the supermarket refrigeration sector can be completed globally from the perspective of policy, technology, planning and operation.
Day 1
Welcome Remarks, Opening & Keynote
Keeping it cool, keeping it natural
Two days of inspiring keynote speeches, lively discussions and insightful inputs on Green Cooling in supermarkets!
Julika Schmitz (facilitator) and Ole Nielsen (UNIDO) took a look ahead. What technologies are being applied in the global South? What other technologies exist and what are the challenges and benefits? These are some of the questions with which the virtual event kicked off. Then Dirk Messner and Tanja Gönner opened the summit with their welcoming words. Following this, Roberto Peixoto (Maua Institute of Technology) explained the current situation and prospects for Green Cooling in supermarkets.
