876 Natural HVACR 4 life: the birth of CO2 CVP and CO2 round-flow cassette! Life Project subject: “A sustainability-focused research project exploring the use of CO2 as a natural refrigerant led by Daikin Europe and co-funded by the EU”(https://www.naturalhvacr4life.eu/) Actions J Demonstrate a Conveni-Pack prototype with R744 as refrigerant. J Install, operate and monitor the performance of multiple Conveni-Pack prototypes in supermarkets across Europe, ranging from average to warm climates (Germany and Spain) extended to United Kingdom, Belgium, France and Italy. J Research and develop an economically viable cassette indoor unit for comfort cooling and heating. J Evaluate the potential of adding cold storage / adiabatic cooling to further reduce carbon emissions. J Communicate about the Life project through exhibitions, conferences and online tools / Share project insights with policymakers and standardization bodies to facilitate the update of safety and energy related standards and labels. J Replicability - business plan and transfer of technology know how to similar products technology used on the CVP has been reused on the CO 2 ZEAS and further improved, this to fullfill new high ambient needs. (Tambient > 38°C) CO2 ZEAS range (8 till 15 HP) Daikin’s Natural HVACR 4 LIFE project: a finalist for the LIFE Awards 2025 The LIFE Awards ceremony took place on 3rd June 2025 during the Green Week– Europe’s largest environmental event. Daikin’s CO₂ Conveni-Pack project has been acknowledged for its innovative approach to sustainable HVAC&R solutions using natural refrigerant. Designed specifically to help supermarkets across Europe reduce emissions and operational costs, this solution is a milestone toward a more sustainable future. The project included countries such as Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, and the Czech Republic. This recognition proves Daikin’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, responsible innovation and climate action. Our work shows the importance of natural refrigerants in the fight against climate change.
