Survey: Natural Refrigerants for Developing Countries

Page One

Dear National Expert,

“Atmosphere 2009” – an international conference on natural refrigerants - will be held in Europe’s decision-making centre Brussels on 19-20 October 2009. It is meant to bring together policy, industry, and the finance community to discuss the opportunities and barriers that the three natural refrigerants are facing. We have invited more than 30 high-level speakers from UNEP, the European Commission, TEAP, the Worldbank, UNIDO, NGOs, as well as from companies from four continents to show how and where CO₂, ammonia, and hydrocarbons can be used.

In case you cannot attend, please use this survey to answer to three short questions about the acceptance of natural refrigerants in your country. Please also take a moment to ask questions we will forward to speakers and industry experts attending Atmosphere 2009. We will share the results with you!

1. Do you have enough information about natural refrigerants - carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrocarbons - and their potential to reduce the global warming impact, eliminate ozone depletion, and save energy? Required Question

	I have enough information
	I do not have enough information, but I want more
	I do not have enough information and I do not want more

2. What would be the best way to address natural refrigerants and exchange knowledge about their ecological, economic, and social potential? Required Question
