Abstract
This paper provides background on the
issue of cooling in land transportation applications
including road, rail and refrigerated container shipping.
The paper analyzes the impacts of mobile cooling on energy
demand, carbon emissions, economic and development issues.
It also considers how mobile cooling demand will grow over
time under constrained and un-constrained conditions.
Additionally, the paper aims to outline technologies that
could reduce the impact of mobile cooling provision and the
policies that are in place to encourage take-up and
efficiency. Lastly, the paper highlights the remaining
policy gaps and recommendations for policy action to advance
mobile cooling access and reduce its impact on the environment.
