An upcoming Energy and Agriculture sector, has given a new set of challenges for my organization. This led to development of patented biomass powered refrigeration technology for cold storages, ripening chamber and pre-cooler to reduce post-harvest losses in food supply chain. The technology is one of a kind solution available in the world to store fruits, vegetables, flowers, milk and seafood without grid power and diesel generating set; used for building end-to-end cold chain.
