According to Aaron:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What we didn\u2019t understand in the beginning was that we were sitting on top of an important climate problem. Refrigeration takes up 15% to 20% of the world\u2019s electricity \u2014 and creates almost 10% of the world\u2019s carbon dioxide and equivalent emissions.<\/p>\n<p>I would argue that cooling is the biggest climate problem people don\u2019t talk about.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s because cooling creates emissions in three different ways.<\/p>\n<p>First comes food waste. Overcooling, overheating, and refrigerator malfunctions can result in food products being thrown away before they ever reach consumers.<\/p>\n<p>When we waste food, we waste the energy required to grow, harvest, transport, and package it. And when food ends up rotting in landfills, it produces methane \u2014 a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n<p>The second problem is refrigerant emissions leaking from malfunctioning refrigerators, which have up to 9,000 times the capacity to warm the atmosphere compared to carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n<p>The third issue is the amount of electricity refrigerators require, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbs.nl\/en-gb\/news\/2022\/10\/more-electricity-from-renewable-sources-less-from-fossil-sources#:~:text=In%202021%2C%20renewable%20electricity%20production,year%2C%20to%2039.1%20billion%20kWh.\">only 33% of which is generated by renewable sources<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>By constantly monitoring the temperature in cooling devices and, in turn, preventing malfunctions, Therma\u2019s sensor can not only alleviate the aforementioned environmental problems, but also save businesses money.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1387650 js-lazy\" alt=\"Therma sensor\" width=\"514\" height=\"504\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-27-at-16.14.22.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-27-at-16.14.22.png 514w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-27-at-16.14.22-214x210.png 214w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-27-at-16.14.22-138x135.png 138w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-27-at-16.14.22-275x270.png 275w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fgrowth-quarters%2F2022%2F06%2F02%2Fyes-your-business-can-make-money-while-saving-the-planet%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Credit: Therma\" data-title=\"Share Credit: Therma on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Credit: Therma on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Credit: Therma<\/figcaption><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1387650\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-27-at-16.14.22.png\" alt=\"Therma sensor\" width=\"514\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-27-at-16.14.22.png 514w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-27-at-16.14.22-214x210.png 214w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-27-at-16.14.22-138x135.png 138w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-27-at-16.14.22-275x270.png 275w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p>As well as the financial gain of reducing food waste, the sensor uses predictive analytics to identify costly equipment malfunctions before they occur.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, the temperature monitoring enables users to turn off refrigerators during selected times, without compromising the food inside.
