10 - Maryland, USA
11 Challenges IIR main challenges are: - The quality of the cold chain for food and of the medical applications of refrigeration: applied cryophysics for medicine and biology is currently one of the most upcoming research fields; - The reduction of energy consumption: it concerns all refrigeration and cryogenic technologies; - The reduction of refrigerant emissions, because of climate change. These topics require scientific and technological transfers between laboratories, universities and industries involved in the various fields covered by IIR activities and also updated information on the latest updated information on research, technology and international regulations in theses fields, provided by the IIR. I would like to discuss the two recent challenges related to energy and refrigerants.
12 The energy challenge Refrigeration and air conditioning represent 15% of global electricity consumption. Electricity is generally produced using fossil fuels. International pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. The price of energy will be maintained at a high level because of costly new energy sources. Increasing demand in developing and emerging countries. Energy efficiency can be improved in refrigerating equipment and overall systems. (IIR guide) Energy recovery: the IIR was requested to help harness wasted energy in regasification plants by using the cold temperature generated by the regasification (Dunkerque, France). Energy storage: because of new energy sources such as solar or wind energy. New sources of energy. Solar cooling Hydrogen as a fuel as well as LNG: transport, storage and distribution at lower scales will be necessary. Cryogenic fluids (carbon dioxide-co 2, nitrogen) to replace vapour-compression systems. Other fluids like helium are also used for various low temperatures applications. CO 2 capture and storage thanks to cryogenics
13 The refrigerants challenge (1) Most refrigeration equipment consists in vapour compression systems. Most use fluorinated gases. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) already banned. Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) will be banned in the near future: the stratospheric ozone layer. They are being phased out within the framework of the Montreal Protocol (international agreement). However, they have to be replaced. The easiest way: Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). No impact on the stratospheric ozone layer. Potent greenhouse gases, as CFCs and HCFCs Included within the list of greenhouse gases according to the Rio Convention and the Kyoto Protocol. Their Global Warming Potential (GWP) is currently 150 up to according to the various molecules, compared to CO 2. Fluorinated gas emissions currently represent 1-2% of total greenhouse gas emissions (eq CO 2 ). This percentage could be much higher in the future (at least 7% in 2050), if no measures are taken, due to an increase of refrigeration and airconditioning equipment, particularly in emerging countries.
14 The refrigerants challenge (2) A will on an international level to organize a phase down of the production and consumption of HFCs within the Montreal Protocol on ozone depletion (as was the case for CFCs and HCFCs). The USA s proposal: a reduction of 85% in 2033 in developed countries and in 2043 in developing countries (in CO 2 equivalent emissions). Emerging countries would prefer to avoid such a phase-down, considering that the related negotiations should be part of the overall negotiations on climate change. The deadline for these negotiations: The European Union already decided to implement a phase down of HFCs, along with some other countries, whatever the decision is made on an international level. Consequently, many technologies are being developed and are to be developed: use of new low GWP HFCs, use of «natural» refrigerants (ammoniac, CO 2, hydrocarbons, water, air), use of cryogenic fluids, magnetic refrigeration at low and ambient temperatures
15 The refrigeration sector seemed to be a traditional world until recently: biotechnologies, information technologies, nanotechnologies, even if they require refrigeration technologies to be used, seemed to be more exciting and cutting edge. However, the need for new technologies in the refrigeration and cryogenics fields and the need for researchers and engineers to deal with refrigeration-related issues is increasingly crucial in addressing these challenges. Technology transfers between these various sectors are necessary and are underway. The IIR network of universities and companies can help researchers, engineers and students in all these refrigeration technologies and uses, through: Its publications, Its reference documents, Its databases Its network of experts, Its participation in international decisions, Its conferences, congresses, research projects, working parties.
