Sainsbury's hails successful Aerofoil green tech deployment
Sainsbury’s has opened its new store in Battersea Park Station, London, where Aerofoil Energy and Williams Advanced Engineering have fitted their one millionth Aerofoil in the UK.
Sainsbury’s was the first supermarket to install Aerofoils in 2017. All of its convenience stores and supermarkets are now fitted with the technology and it reports a 15% energy reduction from its fridges across the estate.
“We’re committed to becoming a Net Zero business by 2040 and have already begun to make headway by investing substantial time, research and money into different areas that can help us achieve this goal,” says Dave Merefield, Carbon, Utilities and Engineering Manager at Sainsbury’s. “Over the next few years we’ll continue innovating and investing in technology to help us combat climate change.”
Paul McAndrew, Founder and CEO, Aerofoil Energy, comments: “As one of the fastest-growing green tech companies in the UK, it’s great that we have been part of Sainsbury’s drive towards a more sustainable retail future.”
