ICCEE
The Improving Cold Chain Energy Efficiency (ICCEE) project aimed at facilitating the food and beverage sector cold chains to undertake energy efficiency measures after carrying out supply chain energy assessments. Through expert analytical tools and dedicated stakeholder capacity building programmes, ICCEE will accelerate turning energy efficiency opportunities into actual investments, with a special focus on supply chains involving European small and medium sized enterprises.
To enable the update of energy efficiency measures and to support the decision making processes of the supply chain companies in estimating their energy saving potential, ICCEE will design and deliver a dedicated cold supply chain energy efficiency tool.
This analytical decision support tool characteristics of cold chains of the food and beverage sector will be with tailor-made analyses related to the energy performance for the different process stages (e.g., raw material preparation, logistic and warehousing operations, production and processing of products, packaging).
Companies participating in ICCEE learn about their potential to improve energy efficiency and the non-energy benefits of energy efficiency. They can compare themselves with the supply chaing energy performance of other companies and understand the opportunities energy efficiency measures bring for their companies.
Companies can also participate in the capacity building programmes that involve training and e-learning activities.
