BENTONVILLE, Ark., Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Grocers can advance their sustainability goals by rolling out CO2-based cold-storage systems, but the shift to natural refrigerants requires careful planning and coordination, advises a veteran engineer from HFA Architecture + Engineering.

Key Points: 
  • "What makes carbon dioxide a better choice for fighting climate change?"
  • "While it is, of course, a greenhouse gas, it is far less heat-trapping than the refrigerants traditionally used in conventional, direct-expansion refrigeration and HVAC systems."
  • But grocers should be aware of the engineering challenges and upfront costs associated with these systems, Schluterman advises.
  • "Combined with their internal decarbonization targets," he concludes, "this external pressure is just one more reason for grocers to explore climate-friendly approaches to keeping things cool."
