Research shows that an estimated 30% of global food production perishes in post-harvest losses. Rising temperatures, population growth and increased urbanization are magnifying the need for adequate cooling. A recent concept paper by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH examines the barriers and recommendations for food cold chains of fruit and vegetables, dairy, meat, and fish in developing countries.
01.04.2017 News Installing solar cooling plants in Jordan: a practitioner’s handbook
As in most countries, Jordan`s demand for air conditioning is expected to double by 2030 in comparison to 2015. The increase is due to several factors such as a general increase in living standards or the generally increasing temperatures due to climate change. Solar thermal driven refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) is particularly attractive to high ambient temperature countries with a high rate of solar radiation.
01.04.2017 News GIZ’s new guidance paper and infographic on advancing NDCs through RAC
Policymakers are guided in their efforts to address their country's RAC&F (RAC and foam) sector, and to include it in their nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
