Managing Summer Peaks in Refrigeration-Heavy Facilities (Without Fighting Physics)

Managing Summer Peaks in Refrigeration-Heavy Facilities (Without Fighting Physics)

by Stan Nabozny | Apr 15, 2026 | The Decarbonized Cold Chain

Summer doesn’t break your refrigeration system—it exposes it. When temperatures rise, everything works harder, longer, and often all at once. The result isn’t just higher energy use. It’s a few short demand spikes that quietly determine your electric bill for the...

Energy Audits for Cold Storage: What We Actually Find (and Why Your Electric Bill Has Trust Issues)

by Stan Nabozny | Mar 11, 2026 | The Decarbonized Cold Chain

Most refrigerated facilities don’t have an “efficiency problem.”  They have a peak problem. Picture this: it’s 3:58 PM. A truck shows up early, three dock doors are cycling like they’re trying to win an Olympic medal, and defrost decides it’s also time to be brave....

Top Refrigeration Risks in 2026 for Cold Storage Operators

by Stan Nabozny | Jan 30, 2026 | The Decarbonized Cold Chain

How operators can brace for a year of regulatory squeeze, technological upheaval, and grid weirdness It’s January — operators actually running freezers and blast tunnels are staring down refrigerant phase-outs, grid volatility, and a regulatory environment that’s...
From Ice to Innovation: How Thermal Energy Storage Can Decarbonize the Global Cold Chain

From Ice to Innovation: How Thermal Energy Storage Can Decarbonize the Global Cold Chain

by Stan Nabozny | Dec 16, 2025 | The Decarbonized Cold Chain

Refrigeration has been around for centuries. Today, in the face of climate change and grid stress, ice is no longer just about keeping food cold—it’s about keeping the lights on. Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is quietly becoming one of the most important tools for...
The Overlooked Frontier: Why the Global Cold Chain Matters in Decarbonization

The Overlooked Frontier: Why the Global Cold Chain Matters in Decarbonization

by Stan Nabozny | Oct 12, 2025 | The Decarbonized Cold Chain

When people talk about decarbonization, the usual suspects come up: electric vehicles, solar farms, heat pumps, wind turbines. These are the “celebrities” of the clean energy transition; headline-grabbers with big-ticket investments. But one critical sector is often...
