Decarbonize the Grocery Sector: An Integrated Approach

Grocery stores significantly contribute to energy use and emissions due to their heavy reliance on refrigeration. This white paper is part of a series on Building Decarbonization that examines the typical steps and innovative solutions in power management, energy use reduction, and socially driven emissions reductions. The series focuses on avoiding the predicted carbon emissions from the built environment between 2024 and 2050—the critical time for emissions reductions to meet global climate goals.
