Designing a Climate-Responsible Cold Chain
At Gelora Solutions, we see cold chain infrastructure as more than a functional system — it’s a strategic lever to support climate goals, food system resilience, and long-term environmental value.
While refrigeration systems do require energy, their climate benefit far outweighs their footprint when applied correctly. The key lies in tackling the true environmental cost of inefficiency: food loss.
Studies show that food waste is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural value chain. In comparison, even a full refrigerant leak contributes only a small fraction of those emissions. This means that reducing waste through smart, localized cold chain infrastructure has an outsized impact on the climate — and on communities.
When cooling is energy-efficient, renewable-powered, and strategically deployed close to the point of harvest or production, it becomes a force multiplier for sustainability. Our role is to make that potential accessible, modular, and measurable.

Our Approach to Sustainable Cold Chain Infrastructure
We integrate sustainability into every design choice — from material selection to system configuration — ensuring that long-term efficiency and low emissions are embedded from day one.
First-mile Cooling
First-mile Cooling
Our systems are designed to operate close to the source of production, minimizing the critical time between harvest and preservation. This reduces microbial activity, spoilage rates, and transportation-related losses.

Sustainability in Action: What Our Cold Chain Delivers
Food Loss Prevention = Climate Impact Reduction
Preventing waste of perishable goods reduces methane generation, cuts carbon emissions, and conserves the resources used in production.
Lower Lifecycle Emissions
With highly insulated envelopes, reducing the use of concrete, energy optimization, and smart usage patterns, our facilities deliver a lower kg CO₂eq per pallet or m2.
Measurable Performance and Reporting
Our digital dashboards track and report key environmental KPIs, supporting ESG reporting and sustainability certifications.
SUSTAINABILITY
A Shared Responsibility
We work alongside our clients to help them align cold chain investments with their corporate sustainability goals, net-zero targets, and environmental compliance frameworks. From sizing solar systems to helping document GHG savings, our team is committed to providing not only the infrastructure — but the insight — needed to create lasting impact.
Sustainability isn’t a feature. It’s a foundation.
And when designed with care, cold chain infrastructure becomes part of the solution — not the problem.
Let’s build a better, climate-smart cold chain.
Together.
