Study on Low-GWP alternative technologies in the Transport Refrigeration Sector.

Summary

To proactively address the challenges posed by the refrigerated transport vehicles in the cold chain sector, the Ozone Cell, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as the implementing agency, has initiated this study under the non-investment component of India’s HPMP Stage-III, which focuses on sector-based policy development and awareness. The primary objective is to develop a comprehensive knowledge base and a set of actionable recommendations to accelerate the adoption of low-GWP and climate-friendly technologies in India’s transport refrigeration sector. It aims to build awareness across the cold chain ecosystem by providing a clear understanding of the current landscape, viable low-GWP alternatives, and best global practices. Ultimately, the study seeks to create a strategic roadmap for India that reduces both direct (refrigerant) and indirect (energy) emissions while enhancing cold-chain reliability and safety.
