Abstract

The UK industrial refrigeration sector has a few challenges to overcome in order to meet its net zero target by 2050. A project funded by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is analysing the opportunities to reduce carbon emissions in from refrigeration equipment. The Transport, Industrial and Commercial Refrigeration (TICR) project includes reviewing the UK refrigeration carbon emissions from refrigeration equipment and to produce a roadmap for carbon emissions mitigation. This paper focuses on the findings from the site surveys and details how currently innovations are used in the sector, the quality of maintenance and the opportunities to reduce energy consumption.
