CFA is on the advisory board of the new Transport, Industrial and Commercial Refrigeration (TICR) project, an initiative to investigate energy use and CO2 emissions from UK transport, industrial and commercial refrigeration sectors.
These sectors are major users of energy and will play a critical part in the UK’s net zero agenda. By focussing on specific sectors, including food and drink manufacturing sites and transport refrigeration units, TICR will produce roadmaps, benchmarks, sector-specific guidance and training events to help direct the sectors to net zero.
A website has been launched, netzerorefrigeration.uk, containing news, background information and guidance, as well as details of how companies can contribute to the research.
The project is being led by London South Bank University with partners Carbon Limiting Technologies, the Carbon Trust, Carbon 3 IT, the Centre for Sustainable Cooling at the University of Birmingham, the Institute of Refrigeration and Star Technical Solutions. It also has the support of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
