About us

The benefits of natural refrigerants speak for themselves - that is why eurammon has dedicated itself to the use of natural refrigerants worldwide for more than 20 years. Our goal is clear: Since day one in 1996, we have been spreading general awareness and acceptance of natural refrigerants—thereby reducing possible reservations against their use.


As an association of companies, institutions and individuals, we are dedicated to promoting natural refrigerants in the interest of a healthy environment, and to further develop a sustainable approach to refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump technologies.


We are confident that our centre of expertise, combined with the strong personal commitment of the eurammon-members and our globally connected network, will lead us to a more sustainable future.

Our Vision & Mission

Our Vision

Eurammon envisions a world where the refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump (RAC&HP) industry fully embraces natural refrigerants as the reliable and sustainable pathway to net zero emissions. By serving as a trusted technical companion - bridging policy, academia, and industry - we strive to foster innovation, energy efficiency, and responsible environmental stewardship in every aspect of RAC&HP technology. Through this leadership, we aim to ensure that natural refrigerant solutions become the global standard for a more sustainable future.


Our Mission

Eurammon’s mission is to empower policymakers, industry stakeholders, and educational institutions with the knowledge, tools, and technical know-how necessary to accelerate the adoption of natural refrigerants in the RAC&HP sector. Building on more than three decades of experience, eurammon provides:​

  • Expert guidance on transitioning to thermodynamically superior natural refrigerants in compliance with global and national phase-down regulations.​

  • Accessible resources such as publications, case studies, and educational events showcasing innovative solutions.​

  • Clear advocacy for implementing natural refrigerants in all viable RAC&HP applications, crucial for meeting a net zero carbon emissions target latest by 2050.​


Technologies sustaining a healthy environment and climate have no nationality. That is why eurammon operates and thinks beyond national borders. We champion sustainable RAC&HP solutions at national and international levels by uniting leading global companies in the field of natural refrigerants.


Eurammon has an excellent global network of co-operation agreements and memberships with international and national associations and institutions - now compromised of almost 80 members in 27 countries.

Knowledge is key

Eurammon regards itself as a centre of competence for the use of natural refrigerants. Because with great knowledge comes great responsibility, the association sees its mission in providing a platform for information and knowledge sharing—whether you are a professional user or consultant for natural refrigeration plants, a policymaker or an interested individual. Eurammon provides all interested parties with the latest news in the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump technology, insightful case studies or informative papers.


We do not only provide extensive information material and share our know-how, but also actively engage hands-on: eurammon supports on all matters associated with the planning of major refrigeration plants, including permits or technical guidelines for their operation.


Eurammon also provides specific project experience—such as support with institutional legislation for the various European countries - and connects its members with institutions, universities, or other members.

Where the future is now

Eurammon embraces social responsibility. As a partner to governments, business and non-governmental organisations, the association contributes to developing and implementing future-proof solutions in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump technologies. RAC&HP must do its part for sustainability, and we at eurammon are convinced that natural refrigerants are the best approach – now and in the future.


Eurammon brings together scientists with technical experts from the field of industrial RAC&HP, and thereby contributes to accelerating the evolution of innovative approaches and viable technologies. We are confident that our dedication to advancing professional research combined with the strong personal commitment of our eurammon-members will lead us to a more sustainable, eco-friendly future.
