Résumé

Food retail is a key sector of the UK economy, representing nearly a third of the Gross Value Added (GVA) from the agri-food chain, which equated to 6% of the national GVA in 2020. This makes the retail sector a heavy energy user and a significant emitter, with most greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (scope 1&2) originating from refrigeration. Quantifying these impacts is therefore critical to better understand the environmental footprint of food retail and to support national decarbonisation ambitions. As most UK studies to date have relied on data from the early 2010s, this investigation is aimed at updating current estimations of energy consumption and GHG emissions from retail refrigeration in the UK, based on a comprehensive review of current literature and Government databases. Findings indicate that retail refrigeration, which encompasses convenience stores and supermarkets, accounts for 3.28 TWh of electricity consumption (ca. 1% of UK demand) and emits 2.27 MtCO2e annually (ca. 0.5% of UK emissions).
