Supermarket Energy Use and Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Technology Options Review
Refrigeration accounts for 50-60% of a supermarket's electricity consumption. These refrigeration systems also generate greenhouse gas emissions directly, through refrigerant leakage.
This paper examined 81 different technologies and their potential to save direct and indirect emissions in a typical baseline UK supermarket. The application timescales and cost per tonne of CO2 abated were calculated using a model of the supermarket. Using the model, the technologies that could save the most carbon were identified.
