Study on Energy Saving and Consumption Reduction of Fresh Agricultural Products Cold Chain Logistics in China

Abstract

Food cold storage is an important means to ensure the quality of fresh agricultural products. In transportation, storage and retail, fresh agricultural products needs to maintain a low temperature environment, which will result in a large amount of energy consumption. In this paper, the energy consumption link of cold chain is analyzed, and the application of new technology of energy saving and emission reduction is discussed and the countermeasure in each link is put forward. Finally the new energy saving technology of cold chain logistics is summarized, and it may provide reference for the development of food cold chain logistics.
