The cooling can be responsible for up to 20% of Red Bull’s product carbon footprint. In order to reduce carbon emission, Red Bull has started the switch to hydrocarbon beverage coolers. The beverage company aims to realise 100% HC equipment procurement in 2013 except for Japan and the US. Until now, Red Bull has already adopted 313,000 units of HC “ECO Coolers” globally, which combine the use of hydrocarbons R290 and R600a. The systems represent 35% of Red Bull’s entire fleet of cooling equipment. ECO Coolers consume up to 45% less energy than previous generations of cooling equipment.
