Low temperature sensitive products transport and storage is an issue worldwide due to
changes of the lifestyle population increase. Thermal energy storage (TES) is nowadays one of
the most feasible solutions in facing the challenge of achieving energy savings. Many researchers
have investigated energy efficiency of different cold units by applying TES systems
using phase change materials (PCM). This paper provides an overview of the existing Spanish
and European potential energy savings and CO2 mitigation by incorporating TES systems to
cold storage and transportationsystems.Data onenergy savingswerecompiled fromdifferent
case studies. Results depend on the scenarios studied and the extent of TES systems implementation;
in the case of Europe for instance, yearly CO2 emissionsmay be cut downbetween
5% and 22% in reference to 2008 CO2 emissions from cold production considering that the
proposed implementation of PCM TES in the case studies found in the literature is done.
