• Driving efficiency in cold chain and refrigeration can deliver 30 per cent of the required energy savings by 2050 while greatly reducing food loss and waste
• There is an imperative need for cold chain solutions to cover Food Production to reduce wastage and loss in countries like India and Africa.
• Cooling Demand in India is expected to grow 10x by 2030, given the current climate change and rapid urbanization
• Spurring global action on energy efficiency is one of the focuses of the IEA’s 9th annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency

Ravichandran Purushothaman, President, Danfoss India, says, “Cooling Demand in India is expected to grow 10x by 2030, given the current climate change and rapid urbanization, which will in turn generate increased demand for food, water & energy. And its imperative to meet the same through sustainable means to help get us closer to our net zero ambitions. We are facilitating this expansion, by working towards bridging the tech and skill gap, helping farmers and businesses reduce food loss and improve food security in the Indian cold chain.”
