Knowledge Platform

Clean Cooling models, tools and data

The Knowledge Platform is a place for The Clean Cooling Network to share a range of data, research, analysis, models and tools to help shape and develop your Clean Cooling strategy.

The Clean Cooling Network Resources aim to support and provide an understanding of the strategic importance of cold-chain as critical infrastructure.

Webinars, downloadable tools & models, publications, procedures, and guidelines

Many elements make up the Clean Cold-Chain. Our range of resources will aid your organisation when preparing and creating a solid strategy for clean cooling and cold-chain development and deployment. 

Whether it's investigating and modelling weather extremes, within a chosen location, or identifying and maintaining the quality and safety of perishable agri-food products, we can help.

We understand that the impact of poor cooling can be felt globally. Climate change adaptation needs to be driven at an organisational and governmental level. 

Models & Tools

Analysis, implementation, and compliance toolkits.

The Clean Cooling Network develops sophisticated models and toolkits for analysing cold-chain requirements, implementation recommendations and strategies, on both a local and national level.

Living in a +50°C World - The System Roadmap

Despite a clear, indisputable need, clean cooling and cold-chain solutions are not being implemented at the required scale on-the-ground in the Global South. Why is that? What are the key issues?  And, most importantly, what can practically be done to address them?

CCN communities

Join The Clean Cooling Community of Practice for Mapping the food system - Towards efficient post-harvest management.

It explores the fresh produce supply chain, identifying the most critical loss points, and aims to develop strategic interventions to mitigate these inefficiencies.

The CoP is led by Dr. Carol Verheecke-Vaessen and Dr. Tobi Fadiji at Cranfield University.
