2 As you move your business forward, it is our goal today, to provide you with a better understanding that you do have refrigeration management options.

3 Planet People Corporate Social Responsibility
Balancing needs, nature, profitability and risk……… Achieving Profitability Planet People

4 Looking Ahead………… A Changing Social Conscience A Changing Corporate Conscience Solutions ……… Good For Business Good For People Good For The Planet

5 Looking Ahead………… Unpredictable Future?
‘‘To reduce emissions of HFCs, the United States can and will lead both through international diplomacy as well as domestic actions.’’ This proposed rule is part of our domestic commitment to take action now and, by doing so, also supporting efforts to secure a global HFC phasedown. - President Obama’s Climate Action Plan, June 2013 “Our Government is once again taking action to address climate change. We have already taken action on some of the largest sources of emissions in this country, the transportation and electricity generation sectors, and today, building on our record, we are proud to announce that Canada will be taking pre-emptive action to reduce and limit harmful HFC emissions, before they increase.” – The Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, Canadian Minister of the Environment, September 2014

6 Risk Mitigation – Health & Safety Employees, Environment &
The Community You Work In Ammonia has excellent heat transfer capabilities and does not contribute to either ozone layer depletion (ODP) or global warming (GWP) . For this reason it has been well established for many years. In fact, some users are so loyal to ammonia that discussion of any other refrigerant solution receives little consideration. However, risk mitigation strategies, Corporate Social Responsibility, public perception, anticipated new regulations and legislations, and the increasing availability and feasibility of options such as CO2, are changing this landscape. "I own a large inventory of a hazardous chemical refrigerant, stored and operating within the daily work activity of many employees, suppliers and possibly customers. A catastrophic leak of this chemical can seriously injure or kill. What am I going to do to prevent an accident, and who holds responsibility under the law of making it so?"

7 Reduction of 90% of the NH3 charge
Risk Mitigation – Health, & Safety Employees, Environment & The Community You Work In Reduction of 90% of the NH3 charge CO2 provides…….. ……..Town officials urged residents to leave the area Friday morning, fearing that smoke irritants and hazardous materials could cause health risks. Tecumseh fire Chief Doug Pitre says that two holding tanks have been filled with ammonia from the plant, which might have become a hazard if the fire had not been contained………. - Excerpt of CTV news report, July 18, 2014

8 Future Looking Clearer?
Looking Ahead………… Future Looking Clearer? Cap-and-Trade System The Ontario government will move forward with a cap-and-trade system and its carbon pricing system. Proceeds from this program will be directed toward key priorities that will help lower greenhouse gases. There will be an overall emission limit (the cap) on those facilities included in the program, and methods of rewarding companies under this threshold.  Ontario Government – April 2015

9 So………… What About Carbon Dioxide

10 History of CO2 Technology that originally emerged in the mid-19th century 1850 : First CO2 refrigeration patent by Alexander Twining (England) 1890 : CO2 is seen as the only “safe” refrigerant Golden age from 1920 to 1930 with system up to 350T, to be phased out in favor of synthetic refrigerants (R-12) In the latter part of the 20th century, scientists began to understand the relationship between synthetic refrigerant usage and the impact to the ozone layer and global warming. With the signing of the Montreal Protocol, the world’s developed economies focused on restrictions and a planned course of action towards elimination of the Ozone Depletion (ODP) CFC and HCFC synthetics

11 History of CO2 As a result, CO2 resurfaced in the 1990s
1991 : “Transcritical” patent by Gustav Lorentzen (Norway) 2009 : First appearance of CO2 systems in grocery stores in Canada 2010 : First CO2/NH3 cascade system for distribution centers in Canada (Carnot) 2010 : First Ice rink with (in slab) recirculated CO2 system in North America 2012 : First Ice rink with direct heat recovery CO2 system in North America (Carnot) >2013: Transfer of technology to other refrigeration applications (Carnot) 2013 : First Data center to run a CO2 cooling unit (Carnot AQUILON TM unit) Reliable and proven systems Presence in Europe for over 20 years Presence in Canada for more than 7 years

12 Securing Their Future – Consumer Goods Forum
On refrigeration, the Forum agreed to begin phasing-out hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants as of 2015 and replace them with non-HFC refrigerants. X

15 European Freon Restriction Summary
Will be prohibited from January 1st, 2020: Commercial refrigeration with HFC at GWP of 2500 or more Ex.: R404A, … Will be prohibited in 2022: Commercial refrigeration (including sealed) with HFC at GWP of 1500 or more Ex.: R410A/R134A/R422D/R407C, … Commercial refrigeration plant with a capacity of 40kW or more with GWP of 1500 or more (including actual retrofit fluids) Ex.: R134A/R422D/R427A Will be prohibited in 2025: Air conditioning with GWP of 750 or more From 2015 and reducing gradually: The European Commission will allocate quotas to producers and importers of HFCs The HFC production and their entry in the European market : in general, the use of HFCs will be reduced as follows:
