The drive to net zero is a global, national and sector challenge that is increasingly the focus of government
policy initiatives and strategy for business and individual action. This series of papers from the IOR looks at the options and opportunities for various sectors within the refrigeration, air conditioning and heating sector. 

The papers included provide insights on a sector-by-sector basis of our readiness to meet the UK’s commitment
to achieve Net Zero by 2050, identifying some of the key areas where progress is needed and which initiatives
and tools are in place to help the industry achieve this important deadline.

Included are 
• Industrial refrigeration
• Commercial refrigeration
• Air conditioning
• Heat pumps
• Transport refrigeration

This is part of the IOR’s “Beyond Refrigeration – The Journey to Net Zero” initiative
