Agenda

I. Conference topics

Bill Hudson (the President of the Global Cold Chain Alliance) explained the role of his organization, which is:

uniting partners to be leaders in the cold chain education and networkinghelp members to maintain an unbroken chain from the point of origin to the point of sale and the consumption

1. Global trends in the industry

Partners of the GCCA:

International Association of Refrigerated Warehouses (IARW)World Food Logistics Organization (WFLO)International Refrigerated Transportation Association (IRTA)International Association for Cold Storage Construction

1. Global trends in the industry

Cost reduction: Labor cost Energy (including lighting: installation of LED lights)

Freon vs Ammonium trendChilled vs Frozen foodReduction of carbon footprintTargeted automation, controlling labor costs within

facilities (Europe is ahead of North America in this issue) Warehouse management system implementation______________________

KPIs and more information on the GCCA activity is in the file attached “1_Hudson_2013 GCCA.pdf”

1. Global trends in the industry

Energy efficiency is a very important issue now in all industries as well as ecological issues, with great attention of the Ukrainian government.

In some industries energy consumption in Ukraine is higher than in most European countries.

Most enterprises work on very old equipment, not really energy saving.

Conclusion: energy saving equipment with minimum industrial discharge is much in demand.

2. Energy saving issues and solutions

Energy saving issues were covered on the conference by Mr. Inshenkov, professor of National Technical University of Ukraine, consultant of many international projects (TACIS, USAID, UNIDO and others).

Institute for Energy Saving and Energy Management (IEE) within the National Technical University of Ukraine "Kiev Polytechnic Institute”, established as a result of a Joint Order by the State Committee for Energy Conservation and the Ukrainian Ministry of Education (No. 137/45, dated 07/05/97) which defines the IEE as a basic energy management training institution in the country.

2. Energy saving issues and solutions

The Institute for Energy Saving and Energy Management works in the next directions:

Sustainable Energy Development; Smart City; Smart Building; Renewable Energy Sources and Distributed Generation; Smart Grid Technology; Demand Side Management; Energy Market; Environmental and Energy Management System; Climate Change Problem.

2. Energy saving issues and solutions

Current Ukrainian Legislation on Energy Saving.

Energy saving law (1994), updated. Number of standards on Energy Management and Energy audit. International standards:National standards (USA, Denmark, Ireland, South Korea) European standard EN16001International standard ISO50001

2. Energy saving issues and solutions

Out of foreign suppliers of energy saving refrigerating equipment are known the following: Johnson Controls, with its cascade systems with carbon dioxide and aggregates ChillPAC with minimum charge of ammonia; GEA Grasso – piston compressors of V-type; BITZER – with series of commercial compressors of ECOLINE type, and also Danfoss and Guntner.

2. Energy saving issues and solutions

So far as Ukraine now is aiming now to enter ITO, it attaches big importance to observance of standards of ecological safety in the country.

However the speech of the representative of Energy Saving Engineering company (ESE) proved that the choice of cold supply concept (Freon, ammonia or CO2) depends on each project feasibility study. Each of the coolant is used now in the country, each of them has its benefits and disadvantages that should be counted and weighed before usage.

II. Personal findings

According to Eugeniy Golub, the Ukrainian Cold Chain Association (UCCA) Chairman of the Board, the market of refrigeration equipment in Ukraine is pretty crowded, key international players are represented here. However there is always a place for new participants.

The tendency is that end users (food factories and supermarkets) buy the equipment and its service from companies-dealers of the manufacturers of the equipment.

The dealers work with several brands of refrigeration equipment in most cases. Some of them both produce the facilities locally and import from foreign manufacturers.

In further slides I give descriptions of several companies that install and service the refrigeration equipment at their clients.
