INSTALLATIONS MAP shecco conducted a data collection during the first half of 2020 with manufacturers of CO2 refrigeration systems (original equipment manufacturers, OEM). The aim was to quantify the number of transcritical CO2 installations worldwide. The companies were asked how many transcritical CO2 installations they have completed to date. Furthermore, they were asked to differentiate
between the applications convenience stores (<400m2 [4306ft2]), supermarkets (>400m2 [4306ft2]), industrial refrigeration installations; ice rinks; and data centers. The results estimate that there are more than 35,500 transcritical CO2 installations globally today. The use in supermarkets is still prevalent, with the share
of convenience stores and industrial applications increasing steadily. The number of transcritical CO2 installations in the different world regions is shown below.
