Reapproval for the label takes place annually. Registration for the 2024 label can be found here , along with additional information.
“Zero-C's team is thrilled to become part of the ATMOsphere movement that pursues our collective objective to drive forward the transition to natural refrigerants with unwavering dedication,” said David Bastrash, General Manager of Zero-C.“Being awarded the ATMO label will not only elevate Zero-C's exceptional industrial refrigeration and heat pump solutions but also amplify our visibility worldwide and ultimately advance our mission.”
The ATMOsphere label is designed to help qualified manufacturers to market products to new customers and regions in the natural refrigerants marketplace, including products using CO2 (R744) and ammonia (R717). In addition, the label is meant to help end users identify best-in-class suppliers.
Once approved, companies can place the ATMOsphere Natural Refrigerant Label in a myriad of places, such as directly on products, marketing material, email signatures, company pitches and trade show booths.
“The label will be very visible in the global marketplace, and companies can take advantage of this to strengthen their brand,” noted Marc Chasserot, ATMOsphere Founder and CEO.
“By being global and multi-application, this label can help to create trust across the new applications and regions,” added Chasserot.“We want to use this multi-year label process to help move the market to cleaner solutions with natural refrigerant solutions over time.”

Canadian logistics operator Groupe Robert will be using an integrated CO2 HVAC&R system made by Zero-C for an automated vertical cold-storage facility. Zero-C entered the European market in 2008 with the purchase of Climat Gestion S.A.
Three pillars
To qualify for an ATMOsphere label, manufacturers have to demonstrate excellence across three pillars:
1) company vision;
2) customer satisfaction (measured via testimonials from multiple end users confirming the reliability, performance and service of these companies and products); and
3) measurable impact.
Jean-François Vallée, VP Engineering for Canadian logistics provider Congebec, commented on its installation of Zero-C's CO2 refrigeration system for a new cold storage warehouse, following seven months of operation.“The start-up and commissioning was very smooth, and the system is very stable and reliable,” he said.“The system look very energy efficient, and we are anxious to compile all the consumption data after a full year in service.”
Added Vallée:“Zero-C has been a very good partner in the project and has delivered a high level of service.”
The 2024 label also includes training criteria for the first time for new applications and renewals.“We want to recognize a proactive approach to training customers, partners, employees and suppliers to ensure we not only have the best-in-class equipment but the best-in-class installation and maintenance of these systems,” Chasserot said.
