In from the cold: strategies to increase the energy efficiency of non-domestic refrigeration in Australia and New Zealand: draft strategic plan + background technical reports.

Author(s) : ELLIS M., BRODRIBB P., KING R., et al.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This report has been prepared for the Equipment Energy Efficiency Committee under the auspices of the Australian and New Zealand Ministerial Council for Energy. In 2008, non-domestic refrigeration consumed over 16 000 GWh of electricity in Australia and New Zealand, and was responsible for 15.4 Mt CO2-e greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of the 10 year strategic plan (together with the two technical support documents) is to improve the energy performance and uptake of energy efficient non-domestic refrigeration products and services within Australia and New Zealand, and stimulate the development of an internationally competitive industry serving local and overseas markets. It identifies the priority refrigeration technologies and market sectors to be targeted over the next ten years that will make a significant improvement to the energy performance of products and services throughout the non-domestic refrigeration sector. This will be achieved through measures which encourage the improved design and installation of new refrigeration equipment and systems, together with better maintenance practices to ensure that savings endure. The strategy includes a range of policy measures, including the provision of information, voluntary and regulatory initiatives, designed to break down the barriers which currently prevent optimal energy efficiency. Fully implemented, these measures are expected to reduce electricity consumption from non-domestic refrigeration by 3300 GWh in 2020, and by 8000 GWh in 2030. The estimated savings in greenhouse gas emissions between 2010 and 2030 total nearly 50 Mt CO2-e, and 5 Mt CO2-e in 2030. The 3 parts of the report are: Draft strategic plan. Background technical report volume 1 (deals with refrigerated cabinets, including display cabinets). Background technical report volume 2 (deals with other sectors and technologies in the non-domestic refrigeration sector: compressors, fan motors, supermarket refrigeration, walk-in cool rooms, process and cold strorage, milk vats, beverage cooling and mobile refrigeration). The full documents are available as a PDF file: www.energyrating.gov.au/library/details200912-in-from-the-cold.html.
