Cold transportation and its impact on the environment is one of the biggest challenges that we are facing. This problem has many sides and many different solutions to it. The biggest obstacles are faced with maintaining the cold chain, rising CO2 emissions, and inefficient transportation and cooling methods. The most promising solutions are optimization, the use of AI methods, and more efficient solutions for maintaining the cold chain. In this presentation we will discuss the refrigerated transportation system, how it impacts the environment, and what are the weak points we should consider.
