Towards net zero

We are all engaged in driving towards a net zero world and cool logistics has many marks to make and milestones to post today and onwards into the future.  At our second Cool Tech event we will gather together innovators and influencers to showcase and share their drive towards the aim in the many building links that comprise the cold chain.  We will explore this through the following sessions* over our two day conference:

“Back to the Future” – How past technology got us to 2023 and how innovations today will contribute to global goals 

The paradox for growers and temp controlled shippers in meeting product demands whilst facing logistics cost and other dynamic sustainability issues now and in the future. Here we shall look at how greater availability of smarter assets fuels demand of them and creates future obsolescence of older equipment. Opportunity or threat?

The challenge of achieving future logistics asset supply at a lower per unit real time cost as well as progressing towards net zero – planes , ships , trucks , trains and delivery systems  – the future challenge for prime cargo movers

Cargo on the ground generates impact on net zero – will future data management across silos finally deliver the overall possibilities from warehousing and storage . Can we collect consignment data and organize it so that it can be mined and fed along the chain for the benefit of all in the cold chain community

We live in an era of new and future compliance how may future planned legislation impact on assets employed in our systems (e.g reefer containers and trailers ). Here we shall look some current and future fundamentals such as the developments in new and proposed refrigerants , efficiency changes in design of the container as well as how these may inspire operational effectiveness.  

We are all on a journey – here are 3 case studies presented from the Cool logistics library where work towards net zero is well on the way

a). Asset tracking 2013-2023-2035
b). Direct and Indirect role of China in coldchain development 
c). A carriers perspective 

 “It’s life Jim but not as we know it” – How digital tools and new data handling will develop into the unknown future for cool logistics

Forecasts , compliance  and anticipation of future technological impact on cool logistics

Transitional management – living with the acceleration of change and its impact on all of us in cool logistics. Recruitment and team development and building a culture of innovation in cold chain businesses to meet the “net zero” challenge.   

Financing the future impact and how this can stand together with organisations to “seize the day”
