SUMMARY:WEBINAR Learning from innovative businesses in the sustainable cooling sector
DESCRIPTION:As global temperatures rise and the impacts of climate change become increasingly pronounced\, the need for sustainable cooling products has never been more critical\, especially for the most vulnerable and energy-limited communities. \nSustainable cold chain solutions can transform farming and business sectors by boosting productivity\, creating jobs\, and driving economic development. By making sustainable cooling more accessible and affordable\, cooling technologies offer a promising pathway to addressing climate challenges while supporting key sectors in off-grid and weak-grid areas. \nProductivity and efficiency \nEffective cold chains play a vital role in the reduction food spoilage and waste\, ensuring that more produce reaches the market in good condition\, which increases the overall yield and profitability for farmers and businesses. The development and maintenance of cold chain infrastructure has the potential to create job opportunities\, ranging from construction and maintenance to logistics and management. By reducing losses and improving the quality of perishable goods\, cold chains enhance the competitiveness of local products in both domestic and international markets\, leading to increased trade and investment. \nQuality of life \nThe impact of cooling technologies on quality of life and health is also significant\, as they prevent the growth of pathogens in food and medicines\, reducing disease transmission\, and improving overall health. Additionally\, they help maintain the efficacy of temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals\, ensuring that essential medicines remain effective. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of the role of sustainable cooling products and solutions\, exploring challenges around uptake and how innovation is helping to address these barriers. The panel will feature speakers from innovation companies who feature in the latest Energy Catalyst report - ‘Learning from innovative businesses in the sustainable cooling sector’ and expert organisations. \nExpert panel: \nVeronica Nkooyio\, Senior Associate\, CLASP \nSimon Ighofose AMIChemE Meng\, Co-founder CEO\, PyroGenesys \nJordan Silverman\, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer\, Inclusive Energy \nDr Khoa Le\, Researcher\, University of Oxford \nDoug West\, Chief Marketing Officer\, Hubl Logistics Ltd \nCeri Jones\, Chief Commercial Officer\, SureChill \nModerator: Mercy Rose\, Head of Energy Research and Innovation\, Mercy Corps Energy 4 Impact
