Novums LEAP™ enabled Panama Green uses 56% less energy when compared to its next best in class competitor.

What does 56% less energy savings equate to for a supermarket chain who adopts 100 Panama Green 3d Freezers on annual basis?

This annual energy saving for a supermarket chain adopting 100 freezers when compared to the next best in class competitor is 538,652 kwh.

This would save a carbon dioxide equivalent of a whopping 382 metric tons annually*, which equates to:
-CO² emissions from 42,954 gallons of diesel consumed.
-Greenhouse gas emissions avoided by 130 tonnes of waste recycled instead of land filled.
-Carbon sequestered by 6,312 tree seedlings grown for 10 years

“Novum strives to decarbonise the refrigeration sector as much as possible to minimise the effect on the planet. Novum, as part of its sustainability journey, has moved the needle on product sustainability, producing the most energy efficient freezers of its type on the global market.

We strongly believe that product sustainability goes beyond energy usage and encompasses reducing food waste and fighting climate change.

In regards minimising food waste, through LEAP™ technology, Novum have achieved this noble objective. The Panama Green is the only upright freezer solution which offers supermarkets the prospect of practically Zero food waste. This is achieved through.

• no frosting of frozen product or packaging
• no traditional defrost cycles where the food needs to be removed during defrost cycles.
• food kept at constant temperature and food integrity is maintained throughout as the refrigeration system is external to the food chamber. Hence the chances of food spoilage are practically zero.

Finally in regards climate change, unlike traditional systems, Panama Green uses an environmentally friendly natural refrigerant-R290, which has no negative effect in regards climate change. There are no CFC’s or HFC’s (gases with high GWP) caused by refrigerants.

Every day I ask what will our legacy be for future generations? To achieve the UN Sustainability goals and secure the future of our planet, business has a huge part to play. Novum recognises that business cannot thrive on economic returns alone. There is a responsibility on Novum to minimise our carbon footprint for future generations. We have made good strides in this regard, but this sustainability journey will be a long one, with many crossroads along the road”. Jim Greene, CEO Novum
