Colombia's Meat Giant Boosts Cold Chain Tech
24 Sep
Summary
- Industrial refrigeration infrastructure upgraded for better temperature control.
- Project aims to save 863 MWh annually, reducing energy consumption by 25%.
- New system strengthens cold chain and supports increased production capacity.
Frigoríficos BLE, a key player in Colombia's meat processing sector, has partnered with GreenYellow, a specialist in decarbonization, to upgrade its industrial refrigeration infrastructure. This collaboration focuses on enhancing the cold chain and ensuring optimal temperature control throughout the meat processing stages.
The new refrigeration solution covers over 1,200 m² and includes advanced systems for maturing, shipping, and deboning areas. It provides 189 TR of capacity on the recirculated system and 84.1 TR on the DX system, bolstering the company's ability to manage products effectively.
This project is projected to achieve significant energy savings, reducing consumption by 25% annually, equivalent to 863 MWh. Furthermore, it will prevent approximately 544 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year, contributing to Frigoríficos BLE's sustainability goals and operational efficiency.
GreenYellow is financing the entire investment and managing the project from design to operation, utilizing an Energy-as-a-Service model. This approach allows Frigoríficos BLE to benefit from state-of-the-art infrastructure without upfront capital expenditure, ensuring long-term performance and availability.
