Few industries hold more potential for decarbonization than food & beverage due to its enormous fleets of equipmet. Reducing the energy consumption and carbon emission of every single freezer, fridge, bottle cooler, or glass door merchandiser is therefore key to achieving a more energy efficient and sustainable fleet.
But the large number of units also means that even small changes can have a huge impact toward your decarbonization goals. That is why we leverage our strong application expertise, complete portfolio, and proven results to help you reach your number — whatever it is.
Get in touch to uncover the potential in decarbonizing your cooler fleet.
Partnering with a leading food and beverage manufacturer, we redesigned a bottle cooler by replacing its key components to improve performance while reducing energy usage and carbon footprint.

On the road to global decarbonization, the phrase ‘Every little bit helps’ rings especially true when it comes to how to decarbonize refrigeration equipment. Because with an estimated 60 mill. glass door merchandiser units currently in operation worldwide, even the smallest improvement of their performance and energy efficiency will result in a significant reduction of CO₂ emissions.
But you might be wondering how much impact optimizing a cooling fleet will actually have on the bigger picture and our environment?
Decarbonization that counts
Consider these numbers: the 30% energy reduction we achieved with our redesigned bottle cooler equals using 216kWh less/year. Danfoss can help decarbonize a sustained number of 2 mill. glass door merchandisers* totaling an energy reduction of 432 mill. kWh. This translates into emitting 200,000 tons less of CO₂e** — the equivalent of saving almost 1.4% of Denmark’s yearly energy generation***. Read that again.
In other words, by optimizing the performance of your refrigeration units, you not only increase food and beverage sustainability but also contribute directly to global decarbonization efforts and mitigating climate change.
From possibility to reality
There’s a reason decarbonization is considered a journey but we’re here to help you every step of the way by delivering both the expertise and technology you need for sustainable refrigeration. So, join us in turning your possibilities into reality – and let’s reach your number together.
* Number of units in continuous operation after a ramp-up period of ten years. Danfoss can help decarbonize 200,000 units per year. Average unit lifetime is defined as 10 years.
