Project to explore digital monitoring and management tools to enhance energy efficiency and reduce emission of green-house gases in the cold chain sector

The National Ozone Unit (NOU) is currently taking part in a project demonstrating digital monitoring and management tools to enhance energy efficiency and reduce emission of green-house gases in the space cooling and cold chain sectors. As part of the developmental stage of this project the NOU  hosted a United Nations Development Programme Consultant to explore potential pilot sites for the agro processing sector,

The pilots will form part of a larger project which will support this country to pilot digital tools for monitoring and managing cold chain systems to reduce emission of the green-house gases, reduce energy consumption and associated electricity costs, and improve overall maintenance of cooling system proactively. 

Digitalization is an innovative approach that can contribute to the implementation of the Kigali Amendment by monitoring the energy performance of existing and new installed cooling equipment and system, identifying HFC refrigerant leakage and consequently reduce HFC consumption, and optimizing system setting and design for energy efficiency.
