Swiss multinational food giant Nestlé, called on natural refrigerant manufacturers to commercialize high-temperature hydrocarbon heat pumps that can generate steam at 200°C (392°F) so it can eliminate the fossil fuels needed for this process in its factories around the world.
The message was delivered by Vincent Grass, Nestlé’s Global Refrigeration Leader, Corporate Operations – Engineering Services, who presented the company’s decarbonization in an end user keynote address at last week’s ATMO Europe Summit in Brussels. The in-person event was organized by ATMOsphere, publisher of Hydrocarbons21.com, on November 15–16.
