In this presentation, Jeffery Hogue, Senior Director of Global Sustainability for McDonald’s Corporation, discusses the company’s first 100% natural refrigerant restaurant in Denmark and the drivers behind the conversion from f-gasses. Energy efficiency, accounting for 20% of McDonald’s carbon footprint, is the main reason why the company has implemented a total of 700,000 units of natural refrigerant equipment (hydrocarbons and CO₂) globally. Hogue also emphasises the need for the entire supply-chain to work together to drive market innovation and lower-cost solutions.
