Have you ever wondered about the intricate world of the cold chain, its significance in our lives, and its impact on the environment?
Dive deep into these topics with none other than GlacierGrid CEO and Founder, Manik Suri, as he takes center stage on the MCJ Podcast. In this episode, Cody Simms chats with Manik to know more about the cold chain problem and how GlacierGrid came to be.
From storing a huge amount of goods, helping us to keep food fresh and healthy, and keeping medicines effective, the cold chain plays a crucial role in today’s society. Even data centers are part of the cold chain. Yet, despite its important role, it remains largely unnoticed.
In Manik’s words, “The cold chain is this ubiquitous and underappreciated infrastructure layer that consists of all of the refrigeration that provides food and pharmaceuticals to the billions around the world who depend on it, but it's overlooked because it's been around for 100 years.”
Here are some additional facts that Manik shared in the episode that emphasize the importance of the cold chain:
Manik's brainchild, GlacierGrid, is at the forefront of transforming commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. With a focus on reducing emissions across food waste, energy, and refrigerant gases, GlacierGrid aims to counter nearly 10% of global emissions from these sources.
Cody Simms dives deep into discussions with Manik on the looming challenges of unchecked cooling, how GlacierGrid emerged as a solution, and what the future holds for the cooling world.
