Cold Chain in Hot Countries (13:00 - 14:30 CEST)
This workshop will focus on the recent statements by Mr. António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, calling on all countries to develop national cooling action plans to deliver efficient and sustainable cooling and bring essential life‑preserving services like vaccines and safe food to all people, and to implement concrete and enhanced actions from industry.
- Towards Energy Efficient and HFC-free Domestic, Commercial and Retail Refrigeration in Article 5 Countries (15:00 - 16:30 CEST)
Hosted by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR), and supported by the Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program (K-CEP) will present energy efficient and HFC-free options for the retail refrigeration sector and a decision-making tree for developing countries.
The decision-making tree will focus on the decision points supported by four different actors; supermarket managers, maintenance service providers, technology providers and consultants.
- CoolFish Project (15:00-17:00 CEST)
CoolFish is a Norwegian research and innovation project which will develop technologies and concepts for more integrated, energy-efficient and climate friendly cooling, freezing and heating onboard fishing vessels. It will also increase the knowledge transfer between research and industry, both nationally and internationally.
