The Gustav Lorentzen Conference is a globally important meeting where the latest progress in research and development of alternative natural refrigerants is discussed.

The conference contributes to bringing forward solutions compliant with the phase-down prescribed by the Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol. We explore innovations based on natural working fluids for applications within refrigeration, air conditioning, heat pumps and heat engines.

We have a long history of exciting conferences: Hanover 1994, Aarhus 1996, Oslo 1998, Purdue 2000, Guangzhou 2002, Glasgow 2004, Trondheim 2006, Copenhagen 2008, Sydney 2010, Delft 2012, Hangzhou 2014, Edinburgh 2016, Valencia 2018, Kyoto 2020, and Trondheim 2022.
