Sustainable Cold Chain: Reducing Carbon Footprint with Tech & Cloud
The event, titled Sustainable Cold Chain: Reducing Carbon Footprint with Tech & Cloud, brought together insights on decarbonization, cloud technology, IoT monitoring, and the transformative role of CO₂ refrigeration in modern cold-room applications.
From actionable sustainability frameworks to hands-on discussions and networking, the seminar provided participants with the knowledge and tools needed to kickstart or advance their carbon-reduction journey.
Organised by Metropolitan Wireless International (IOT-ezy), Peterson Solutions Singapore, NivisTek and supported by AWS.
Sustainability Roadmap to Decarbonization
The session began with a deep dive into how organizations can translate sustainability commitments into achievable decarbonization strategies. Participants learned practical steps for:
- Measuring and understanding emissions
- Identifying high-impact reduction areas
- Establishing baselines
- Implementing effective carbon-management practices
The roadmap provided a clear structure for businesses aiming to meet regulatory expectations and build long-term sustainable operations.
Advantages of CO₂ in Cold-Room Applications
A highlight of the seminar was the introduction to CO₂ as a natural refrigerant, led by industry experts including NivisTek, specialists in CO₂ cold-room systems. Attendees gained valuable insights into:
- Why CO₂ is emerging as a preferred eco-friendly refrigerant
- Its commercial benefits, such as efficiency and long-term cost savings
- Environmental advantages, including dramatically lower global warming potential (GWP)
CO₂-based systems are rapidly becoming the standard for future-proof, sustainable refrigeration.
Role of Cloud Technology in Carbon Emission Reduction
Cloud technology is accelerating the transition to a greener cold chain. Experts discussed how the AWS cloud ecosystem enables:
- Remote monitoring of temperature, energy, and system performance
- Real-time alerts for anomalies and maintenance needs
- Advanced analytics to identify inefficiencies
- Data-driven decision-making for continuous improvement
The session highlighted how cloud intelligence empowers organizations to reduce emissions while improving operational reliability.
