How to Save Costs in your Research Lab with Froilabo’s ULT Freezers
In this quick read, we lay out the 5 ways in which you can help your laboratory be more energy-efficient when using ultra-low temperature freezers, which will not only cut your carbon footprint but will also save money.
Laboratory research can harm the environment in many ways, due to high energy usage, single use products and continuous chemical consumption. Ultra Low Temperature Freezers (ULT) in particular are known for their high energy usage, given their average requirement of 16–25 kWh per day.
The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that world energy consumption will grow by nearly 50% between 2018 and 2050₁, which is greatly concerning as world energy consumption contributes to pollution, environmental deterioration, and global greenhouse emissions. Therefore we urgently need to reduce the amount of energy we are consuming in order to conserve the earth's natural resources, protect ecosystems and contribute to a healthier and happier world.
