Global warming is not just a one-industry issue, so collaborating to build teams across industry, government, and finance is essential for achieving decarbonization. Considering that refrigeration consumes more than 50% of supermarket energy, sustainable solutions in the commercial refrigeration industry, such as those promoting high efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, offer substantial potential for market growth. Decarbonization is driving the sustainable refrigeration market; policies support the adoption of low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants and programs encourage high efficiency systems. Additionally, major retailers are investing in sustainable solutions to demonstrate environment, social, and governance responsibility. As the technology continues to advance, financing options have made sustainable refrigeration in the commercial sector more affordable.
Although supportive policies are a market driver, a potential delay in the market's transformation is slow approvals for those policies. Also, because sustainable solutions are usually expensive, customers may hesitate to adopt them. In addition, low GWP refrigerants have demonstrated some drawbacks and the lack of technicians and contractors interested in sustainable refrigeration solutions may delay market growth.
