Energy Performance of High Freezing Point Ice Cream
Problem statement
In a world that is ever changing and moving towards cleaner and greener energy what can we do to help? One big contributor to the CO2 emissions in the world is the production and storage of ice cream. The refrigerants used to make and store ice cream have been researched and throughout a single year ice cream production emits 1.6 Mt of CO2 in just the UK alone. Expanding these numbers across the world we can see that this is a big contributor to our current CO2 emissions problem. We intend to research for our client a new high freezing point ice cream, how it can be used to reduce the total amount of energy required to produce the ice cream as well as store it. In doing so we would be able to use a more environmentally friendly refrigerant, put a dent in the worldwide CO2 emission numbers, and help our environment become greener.
