Dissemination is one of the main activities within Life-C4R project.

Life-C4R had a specific and dedicated area inside of Epta's booth at Euroshop, the world’s leading Retail fair which will be held in Düsseldorf from 16 to 20 February.

Conference arena inside Epta’s booth was created in order to share information and updates about Life-C4R project, but also insights on environmental issues and speeches by experts in the Retail world.

How much does the Retail world actually affect climate change? What technological and regulatory novelties will we see? What will the Store of the future be like? What new technologies are available to operators to make stores more sustainable?

The three-year LIFE C4R project of Epta, co-financed by the EU, was born precisely to raise awareness among the scientific community, the suppliers of components and all the players in the Retail world to use increasingly more efficient solutions and to accelerate the spread of transcritical CO2 refrigeration systems.

Awareness is essential to make sustainable choices” comments Francesco Mastrapasqua, Project Leader Life-C4R Epta, who adds “This is why Epta has organised the Conference Arena at its stand at EuroShop (Hall15, stand C24-C42): a conference area specifically designed to make known the updates on the first important milestones achieved by Life-C4R, and in-depth information on environmental themes and direct testimonies. We have devised a format with short and very authoritative speeches, which are part of a trade-fair context that also leaves room for questions and direct discussion”

A place for meeting and information, sponsored by Life-C4R, in which internationally acclaimed personalities and experts of the sector alternated each day, with clear, precise and quickly accessed speeches. Worthy of note, for example, are the speeches on the current climate situation of Franziska MentenProject Coordinator UNIDO and the in-depth information by Julia Kleinschmidt, Policy Advisor and Project Manager Öko-Recherche on the new European policies to combat global warming.  

Details of the new technolies at the heart of Life-C4R were displayed at Simply Ingenious area of the booth. FTE system technology in its 2.0 version, that allows to fully replace old refrigerants with CO2, a natural, non-toxic and non-flammable fluid, in a simple, efficient and reliable manner, in any climate situation anywhere in the world. In the 2.0 version, the FTE Full Transcritical Efficiency is fully integrated in the power pack thus requiring no extra space in the technical room and further reduced installation and startup times. ETE Extreme Temperature Efficiency is the new Epta technology that complements FTE to further enhance the efficiency of CO2 in the warmest climate conditions, designed to operate also with one temperature stage systems and industrial refrigeration.
