The Overall Worldwide Saving Potential from Domestic Refrigerators and Freezers
The Overall Worldwide Saving Potential from Domestic Refrigerators and Freezers
| Title of Document | The Overall Worldwide Saving Potential from Domestic Refrigerators and Freezers |
| Abstract | Currently about 1,4 billion domestic cold appliances are in use worldwide, using about 650 TWh of electricity and causing Greenhouse gas emissions of 450 Million tons of CO2eq a year. Total energy consumption by cold appliances is still on the increase. However, the most energy-efficient technology domestic cold appliances could reverse this trend despite growing ownership: Compared to 2008, in the order of 360 TWh/yr of electricity could be saved, leading to Greenhouse gas emission reductions of 220 million tons per year, by 2030.
