ICCEE Project

ICCEE consists of a series of interrelated activities, which serve to develop a tailor-made tool and training courses for the increase of supply chain energy efficiency in the food and beverage sector.

What is it about?

The Improving Cold Chain Energy Efficiency (ICCEE) project will assist the cold chains of the food and beverage sector to implement energy efficiency measures after carrying out supply chain energy assessments.

Implementation

The implementation of the project´s holistic approach - shifting energy efficiency measures from a single company perspective to an assessment of the whole cold chain - will lead to increased opportunities for energy efficiency measures.

Accelerate Investments

Through expert analytical tools and dedicated stakeholder capacity building programmes, the ICCEE project will accelerate turning energy efficiency opportunities into actual investments, with a special focus on supply chains involving European small and medium sized enterprises.

THE ICCEE TOOL

ICCEE will integrate the characteristics of cold chains of the food and beverage sector in an analytical decision support tool with tailor-made analyses related to the energy performance for the different process stages (e.g., raw material preparation, logistic and warehousing operations, production and processing of products, packaging).

ICCEE will design and deliver a dedicated cold supply chain energy efficiency tool to assist companies active in the cold supply chain to estimate their energy saving potential and to support their decision making process when updating their energy efficiency measures.

BENEFITS FOR COMPANIES

Companies that participate in the ICCEE project will learn more about the potential to improve energy efficiency and of non-energy benefits of energy efficiency.

They will be able to compare their supply chain energy performance with the performance of other companies and understand the opportunities energy efficiency measures bring for their companies. Companies can also participate in the capacity building programmes that involve training and e-learning activities.

Project Consortium

Project is coordinated by University of Brescia with 12 partners.
