Summary

About 1, 4 billion domestic refrigerators and freezers are in use worldwide. With an average annual electricity consumption of 450 kWh each, altogether they account for almost 14 % of the total electricity consumption from the residential sector and cause worldwide annual greenhouse gas emissions of 450 million tons of CO 2eq. If every time a refrigerator or freezer is replaced, the most energyefficient model is chosen as a replacement, 240 TWh of electricity and 159 million tons of CO(2eq) per year can be cost-effectively saved by 2020. Even further savings are achievable by 2030.
