We are delighted to announce the seven ground-breaking companies that will make up the fourth edition of The Clean Fight’s Accelerator Program. This edition is dedicated to solutions focused on decarbonizing the storage, distribution, and retail of food. Although attention is paid to the significant environmental impacts of the agricultural system, the GHG emissions of the post-farm food supply chain are often overlooked. The companies selected offer ready-to-install, high-impact technologies that address key sustainability challenges in this tight-margained  industry, ranging from refrigeration and novel food preservation, to HVAC and heat recovery, and cold chain energy management.
