Integration of Natural Refrigerants in Coop Norway

Today Coop Norway has 125 local cooperatives with around 1000 stores, representing 24% of the market share. The Coop Value Compass reflects distinctiveness and core values. Coop has almost 60 eco-labelled stores and Coop Extra is the only eco-labelled chain in Norway, fulfilling strict energy use and climate impact requirements. Along with the eco-label, the second driver for investment in natural refrigerants was a project to reduce 38 million kWh across Coop. The first natural refrigeration system was installed in 2001. Today Coop has 29 stores with transcritical CO2 refrigeration installations. These systems contribute a 15 – 20% energy reduction.
