Driving clean cold.

Author(s) : TEYSSANDIER E., WAGNER F., BENGHERBI Z., et al.

Summary

Research has predicted extremely rapid growth of demand for transport refrigeration units (TRUs), with upper estimates suggesting there could be over 16 million TRUs in operation by 2025 – up from 2.1million today. This growth will largely be driven by changing demographics in the Asia Pacific region and could have major global environmental consequences if met with existing fossil fuelled technology.
This paper will evaluate the potential reductions in all forms of pollution that could arise from mass adoption of novel, zero emission, liquid air TRUs. It will be based upon original analysis of ten European markets, their demand for transport refrigeration and the pollution associated with existing TRUs. This provides a baseline to evaluate the potential environmental benefits of introducing zero emission alternatives. The paper will also consider the potential for liquid air technologies to be adopted quickly, assessing both available infrastructure and the economic viability of the technology.
