CERN: From Feasibility Study to Continued Collaboration – EKA Contributes to Sustainable Cooling Systems at CERN

What began as a feasibility study quickly turned into something more. EKA, together with Caverion, carried out a feasibility study in collaboration with the world-leading research center CERN. The purpose was to evaluate how their existing F-gas systems could be replaced with more sustainable solutions based on natural refrigerants.

The feasibility study was initiated after our participation at AIMday Big Science Technology during the Swedish Big Science Forum in Lund 2024 – a meeting format that proved to be an effective way to connect Swedish industry with international research needs. Even before the study was completed, CERN decided to greenlight a continued assignment – a clear sign of a successful collaboration.


As part of the project, we visited CERN to conduct a thorough inventory of existing cooling systems and interviewed staff from several departments. This was done to get a comprehensive understanding of both the technical requirements and the organization’s sustainability ambitions.


“We see that sustainability and performance go hand in hand,” says Jörgen Rogstam, CEO of EKA. “By integrating environmental aspects from the start, we create solutions that are efficient, reliable – and future-proof.”

CERN’s growing focus on sustainability in technical projects makes it especially meaningful for us to contribute our analytical expertise in this context. Together with Caverion, we are now moving forward toward a common goal: energy-efficient, robust, and sustainable cooling systems for the research of the future.
