  AEEGTA Presents

  Coffee & Conservation Series

  
  

  In this webinar, CIMCO will address Carbon Neutral Heating Solutions, emphasizing the role of natural refrigerant heat pumps and thermal storage as the key tool used in reducing fossil fuel consumption. We will discuss their applications in industrial, residential, and commercial settings, and examine the potential of utilizing them in thermal energy networks or district energy systems as a decarbonization accelerant.

  The presentation will highlight the efficiency gains of natural refrigerants over synthetic refrigerants, the process of retrofitting chillers to supply domestic water or building heat through heat reclaim, and the implementation of heat reclaim in greenfields. Additionally, we will delve into the concept of district energy, its advantages, and its evolution from inception to the present day. The webinar will conclude with an overview of thermal storage solutions, detailing their benefits, installation methods, and their role in reducing capital (capex) and operational (opex) costs while serving as a tool for decarbonization.
