Net zero cold storage — low-carbon refrigeration, natural refrigerants and renewable energy
Design, build and operate cold storage that reaches Scope 1 + 2 net zero: natural refrigerants (NH₃, CO₂, R290), PV + BESS + thermal storage, heat recovery, high-performance envelopes and verified carbon accounting. ColdMatch benchmarks EPCs, equipment OEMs and green-finance instruments across the full net-zero stack.
- Natural refrigerants: NH₃ / CO₂ / R290 (GWP ≤ 3)
- PV + BESS + thermal storage for Scope 2 net zero
- Heat recovery to displace boilers and hot water
- TCFD / SBTi / EU Taxonomy-aligned reporting

Net Zero Cold Storage — frequently asked
What defines a net-zero cold store?
Scope 1 emissions ≈ 0 via natural refrigerants (GWP ≤ 3) and no on-site combustion, plus Scope 2 electricity matched by on-site or contracted renewables with residuals offset by high-integrity credits.
Is net-zero cold storage more expensive?
CAPEX is typically 10–25% higher than an HFC + grid baseline, but 10-year TCO is often lower thanks to energy savings, F-gas cost avoidance and green-finance pricing.
Which refrigerants qualify?
Ammonia (NH₃, GWP 0), CO₂ (R744, GWP 1), propane (R290, GWP 3) are the standard net-zero choices. HFOs like R1234yf/ze are transitional.
Can ColdMatch structure green financing?
Yes — we match projects to green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, DFI concessional debt and carbon-revenue stacking.
