Coca Cola By: Gabriel Whaley Victoria Ryoo Nandita Rao

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 850 plants  provides power for equipment such as boilers, chillers and air compressors  Fleet/Transport 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  Offices and bottling plants  Fleet and transportation  Global awareness and action

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 Energy- Efficiency 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 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)
