Published Date: December 12, 2011 shecco is proud to announce the launch of the beta version of the new R744.com. To adapt to the changing needs of its members and readers, the website has been redesigned from the ground up and includes many new features, one of which being the revamped community of CO2 worldwide experts. In 2006, shecco launched R744.com, its very first industry platform, dedicated to CO2 as a refrigerant for heating, refrigeration and cooling applications. Over the last 5 years, R744.com has been constantly on the cutting edge, updating its readers on industry and policy developments, reporting from all major events with relevance to natural refrigerants and building the first global online community for CO2 experts. During this time, R744.com has moved with the market and the needs of its readers. Late November 2011, shecco announced the launch of the beta version of the new R744.com. The team has redesigned R744.com from the ground up, taking into consideration the input from its members worldwide and integrating the most useful web 2.0 features. Why a new R744.com and why now? "The potential of the new R744.com is very clear. This community is the largest community in the world dealing with natural refrigerants. It is going to provide a wealth of opportunities for experts working worldwide with CO2. R744.com has the potential to be their tool for this," says Marc Chasserot, Editor-in-chief of R744.com (and Managing Director of shecco). Whilst the focus of the R744.com redevelopment has been to improve the “news”, “products” and “community”, the heart of the website remains the same: enabling companies to present products, technical and product data sheets, whilst also publishing technical articles on the latest market developments. It is the combination of news, products and community that makes R744.com the perfect place for everybody seeking or wanting to share information and business opportunities in regard to CO2 cooling and heating technologies. Gateway to the global natural refrigerant community Next year, the R744.com and upcoming ammonia21.com and hydrocarbons21.com communities will combine, creating a gateway to the first global natural refrigerant community.
