ATMOsphere, publisher of NaturalRefrigerants.com, has issued a call for clean cooling and heating case studies to be presented at the ATMOsphere (ATMO) Europe Summit 2025, which will be held November 24–25 in Padova, Italy.
Case studies must include real-life installations and feature natural refrigerants, such as CO2 (R744), hydrocarbons, ammonia (R717) or water (R718). In addition, for the first time, ATMOsphere is also accepting case studies on refrigerant-free caloric heating and cooling technologies. Case studies from the following industries are encouraged:
- Commercial and industrial refrigeration
- Heat pumps
- Commercial HVAC
- Data center cooling
- Caloric heating and cooling
Projects should be relevant to the European market and be co-presented with an end user or affiliated contractor. For caloric cooling case studies, end-user or installer participation is preferred but not mandatory.
Case studies must highlight the installation’s sustainability, replicability, originality and tangibility. Preference will be given to case studies that include efficiency and cost analyses. Each presentation will be allocated a maximum of 10–12 minutes followed by three minutes for audience questions.
Case studies must be submitted by August 8 using the template provided. Details on how to submit a case study can be found here. Case study presenters receive a 50% discount on the standard conference pass.
Registration for ATMO Europe 2025 is now open, and an early-bird discount of €200 ($227) is available until May 9.
Exploring emerging markets
ATMO Europe 2025 will feature presentations on data center cooling and caloric heating and cooling technologies. Data centers are a major emerging market for natural refrigerant-based systems, with McKinsey estimating that global demand for data center capacity could rise at an annual rate of 19 to 22% from 2023 to 2030.
Caloric technology, while still in its infancy, offers a glimpse into the future of sustainable heating and cooling, one that doesn’t require refrigerants. Magnetocaloric, electrocaloric and elastocaloric materials heat up when introduced to an electrical field or mechanical stress, while removing the field or stressors allows them to cool down. Elastocaloric technology was named one of the World Economic Forum’s “Top 10 Emerging Technologies” of 2024.
Event details
ATMO Europe 2025 will be held at the Padova Congress Centre. In addition to technology case studies, the event will also discuss market trends and the latest policy developments related to PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and the EU F-gas Regulation. There will also be opportunities for networking, including after the ATMO Awards/Europe 2025, which will be given out at the end of the first day.
The gold sponsors of ATMO Europe 2025 are Zudek, Copeland and Carel. Those interested in sponsoring the event can find more information here and contact ATMOsphere’s Partnership Manager Silvia Scaldaferri at silvia.scaldaferri@shecco.com.
