With climate change most closely associated with burning fossil fuels, it surprises many people to learn that a portion of our emissions of greenhouse gases comes from the cooling equipment that keeps our beverage products cold. With an aim to improve the energy efficiency of our cooling equipment to reduce the emissions, The Coca-Cola Company has developed a proprietary device called “energy management system (EMS).”  The EMS is a device that reduces energy consumption of a cooler up to 35% by allowing the temperature inside the cooler to rise (between 7°C to 14°C) during periods when the outlet is closed and maintains the correct cooler temperature (between 0°C and 7°C) during the active hours of the outlet. The EMS manages this by detecting the people movement in-front of the cooler through an infrared sensor eye & through the cooler door opening and closing counts. The unit is totally self managing and does not require any special interference of the user. It can substantially reduce the number of service calls whilst saving on average up to 35% energy (when compared with a 24hour running cooler without EMS).  Additionally, the EMS facilitates longer life to the compressor, fans and lights in a cooler, by protecting against High voltage (> 250V) & Low voltage (< 180V) supplies and saves maintenance cost of the cooler owner. All the cooling equipment of more than 250 liters capacity that we bought in 2009 were 100% fitted with EMS which is also mentioned on the cooler body (labels). We have also made 100% transition to HFC free (Hydroflourocarbons free) insulation foam for our cold drink equipment.Achieving energy efficiency is a continuous process and we are consistently working on fixing the basics -- fixing leaks, insulating pipes, reducing pressure and optimizing temperatures, as well as investing in efficient lighting, compressor optimization and heat recovery. At some of our bottling plants, we have converted the conventional boilers into biomass-based briquette boilers such that there are fewer emissions.
