Summary

Doing Cold Smarter was launched to produce a roadmap for the UK to navigate the complexity of cold energy provision and provide direction for investment in sustainable solutions. Cold is a vital part of thermal energy policy for the future, but despite 14% (almost £5.2billion each year) of Britain’s electricity goes to cooling it has been little explored. The provision of cold, or cooling, is integral to modern society; without it, the supply of food, medicine and data would simply break down. Cold is also vital for many other applications including air conditioning, super-critical technologies and freezing and powdering materials for recycling and easy disposal.
