History/ Past actions and concerns



Battling the usage of
chlorofluorocarbons in the 1990’s
Being in agreement with 1997 Kyoto
Agreement to find alternative
refrigeration technologies
Joining Danish Technical Institute,
Danish Emergency Agency and
Vestfrost and Danfoss to conduct
trials on single door coolers that
reduce energy consumption using
HC gases
Current Energy Consumption

Manufacturing


Fleet/Transport


850 plants

provides power for equipment such as boilers,
chillers and air compressors
200,000 vehicles

transports ingredients, packaging and finished
beverages
Sales/Marketing equipment

more than 9 million vending machines and coolers

largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions
within the system and produce three times the
estimated emissions of our manufacturing
facilities
Protection Strategy

Refrigeration Equipment

Vending machines and
coolers




more than nine million
coolers and vending
machines
the largest estimated
contributor to greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions within
our system wide operations
produce three times the
estimated emissions of our
manufacturing facilities and
more than five times the
emissions from our fleet
Cornerstone of their energy
and climate protection efforts
Offices and Bottling Plants


Coca Cola is investing to
improve our energy
efficiency by
investigating and
supporting market
development for
renewable power
Coca Cola has discovered
practices which can
improve energy
efficiency in company
operations by more than
10%, and prevent about
500,000 metric tons per
year of greenhouse gas
emissions
Fleet and transportation



Energy is used by
200,000 vehicles to
transport ingredients,
packaging and finished
beverages
Fossil fuels provide the
bulk of their energy, but
supports market
development for
renewable power
developed an EnergyEfficiency Guidance
Manual that includes
best practices which can
improve energy
efficiency in our
operations by more than
10%, and prevent about
500,000 metric tons per
year of greenhouse gas
emissions
Global Awareness and action

Actions taken




Launched multi-stakeholder initiative called “Refrigerants,
Naturally!” in 2004 encourage environmentally friendly
cooling technologies and to address global climate change
through promotion of HFC-free alternative refrigeration
technologies that protect the Earth's climate and ozone
layer
Partnership with WWF to reduce energy consumption and
climate footprint
Signed the UN’s Global Compact's "Caring for Climate: The
Business Leadership Platform." which is a global call to
businesses and governments to speed up action on climate
change
committed to engage our global supply chain to work
toward the common objective of advancing practical
climate change solutions
Recent actions (in 2007)



increased the penetration of Energy
Management System, EMS-55, which can
reduce energy consumption up to 35 percent
By the end of 2007, over 500,000 of these
EMS-55 units were shipped into the Coca-Cola
system
combined annual energy reduction is estimated
to be more than 650 million kilowatt-hours, with
a corresponding greenhouse gas reduction of
over 350,000 metric tons
Actions the company has planned/is
planning to take to battle global climate
change

New environmental policy for cold drink
equipment




Expanding research in development of more
environmentally friendly equipment
No longer purchasing new cold drink equipment
using hydro fluorocarbons when cost efficient
alternatives are available (for to both refrigerant
gases and insulation)
There will be specific time schedules to use only HFC
free foam insulation and refrigeration
Wants to create new equipment that is 4050 percent more energy efficient than
today's
Outline of actions planned to take

transitioned to HFC-free insulation for new purchases
of sales and marketing refrigeration equipment



This new equipment generates 75% fewer direct
greenhouse gas emissions as compared with traditional
sales equipment
significant research and development investments to
identify a cost-effective commercial solution to
refrigerant gas
using carbon dioxide technology to help reduce direct
greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerants

(Carbon dioxide is a natural refrigerant that is HFC-free,
has less direct climate impact and improves energy
efficiency under typical operating conditions)
