A new academic and industrial collaboration is investigating real energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from the transport, industrial and commercial refrigeration (TICR) sectors in the UK. The consortium led by London South Bank University includes Star Technical Solutions, Carbon3IT, Carbon Trust, Carbon Limiting Technologies, the University of Birmingham and the Institute of Refrigeration. Our vision is to create a comprehensive data driven and whole systems approach to support decarbonisation strategy and policy within the sector.
The two-year project is funded by DESNZ and will estimate scope 1 and 2 emissions from refrigeration, develop models and roadmaps for their mitigation, identify innovations, benchmarks and best practice and produce guidance and training for manufacturers, installers and end users. It is envisaged that this work will identify policy intervention opportunities for the wider sector and quantify their impact. The ultimate aim is to support the industry on its transition to net zero....
