Positioning natural refrigerants (NH₃, CO₂, R290 hydrocarbons) at COP31 as the foundation of sustainable cooling, Kigali alignment, and extreme heat resilience. Curated across six international pavilion hosts with strictly zero commercial hosting fees.
Flagship 60-min standalone/co-hosted eurammon panel. Bridges the Global Cooling Pledge policy targets with verified manufacturer field data operating above 40°C with high COP and zero PFAS/TFA pollution.
Integrated module within existing ALCBT / PEEB submission (10–12 min industry feature + 25 min panel). Connects chiller operational efficiency and EPD data into national building carbon accounting tools.
Technical anchor role on tropical, high-humidity natural refrigerant cold chains. Tackling heavy dehumidification loads, R290 safety engineering, and post-harvest cooling for agricultural exports.
Directly leverages COP31's host location in Antalya. Demonstrates water-saving hybrid and adiabatic natural cooling to replace vulnerable, water-intensive wet cooling towers in drought-stressed regions.
Zero-failure hospital chillers and vaccine cold-chain preservation during heatwaves. Eliminates synthetic PFAS/TFA refrigerants to safeguard public health and water systems from persistent chemical degradation.
Curated 15–30 min COP31 interview segment + Speaker Pool. Tackles agricultural post-harvest loss (saving 30–50% of crops) and civic heat emergency shelters without synthetic PFAS maladaptation.

At COP31, discussions on the Global Cooling Pledge and Kigali Amendment require proven engineering rather than theoretical targets. Michael Freiherr provides direct operational data from hundreds of commercial and industrial installations worldwide operating reliably above 40°C.
His presentations demonstrate that natural refrigerants (ammonia, CO₂, and hydrocarbons) are non-patented, future-proof public goods that prevent catastrophic PFAS water accumulation while dramatically cutting Scope 2 electricity demand.
