项目摘要

Botanic Energy is developing an energy efficient combined freezer and thermal trailer body for large and heavy goods vehicles that utilizes thermodynamics rather than fossil fuels to enable temperature controlled distribution without transport refrigeration units.Road transportation is responsible for a major part of global emissions, with temperature controlled transport producing considerably higher pollution due to the greater reliance upon fossil fuels for cooling and leakage of refrigerant. Greenhouse gas emissions from conventional diesel refrigeration units can be as high as 40% of a vehicles emissions with transport refrigeration units (TRUs) emitting nearly thirty times more particulates and six times more nitrogen oxides. The transportation sector is under pressure to reduce CO2 emissions and become less reliant upon fossil fuels.The use of thermoelectricity in refrigerated distribution emerges as a significant alternative for internal environmental control. Decarbonising cooling and heating with advances in insulation will help achieve environmental targets and the move towards zero carbon transportation.Based upon thermodynamics, Botanic Energy's combined freezer thermal trailer body is designed to address these problems. This innovative technology takes advantage of temperature differences between internal and external environments, offering an energy efficient alternative for environmentally conscious regulators, manufacturers and hauliers.Botanic Energy's thermal cladding system has progressed from concept through to early research and basic prototypes leading to several patents. We are seeking project funding to accelerate the development of the technology and products for commercialisation from the UK for domestic and global markets.Our project involves further research and development of the component parts of the system, progressing designs and make up of specific elements and the development of a demonstration prototype for testing in controlled environments.The aim of the project is for Botanic Energy's Combined Freezer and Thermal Trailer Body to offer zero carbon dioxide emissions from chilled transport by displacing fossil fueled systems with the associated savings in materials, energy consumption and cost.

Botanic Energy正在为大型和重型货车开发一种节能的组合式冷冻机和热拖车车身，该车身利用热力学而不是化石燃料，在没有运输制冷装置的情况下实现温度控制配送。道路运输是全球排放的主要部分，由于更大程度地依赖化石燃料进行冷却和泄漏，制冷剂传统柴油制冷机组的温室气体排放量可高达车辆排放量的40%，而运输制冷机组（TRUs）排放的颗粒物和氮氧化物几乎是车辆排放量的30倍。运输部门面临着减少二氧化碳排放和减少对化石燃料依赖的压力。在冷藏配送中使用热电成为内部环境控制的重要替代方案。脱碳冷却和加热与绝缘的进步将有助于实现环境目标和迈向零碳运输。基于热力学，Botanic Energy的组合冷冻机热拖车车身旨在解决这些问题。这项创新技术利用了内部和外部环境之间的温差，为具有环保意识的监管机构、制造商和运输商提供了一种节能的替代方案。Botanic Energy的热覆层系统已经从概念发展到早期研究和基础原型，并获得了多项专利。我们正在寻求项目资金，以加快英国国内和全球市场的技术和产品商业化的发展。我们的项目涉及进一步研究和开发系统的组成部分，该项目的目的是为植物能源公司的组合冷冻机和热拖车车身通过取代化石燃料系统，在冷藏运输中实现零二氧化碳排放，从而节省材料、能耗和成本。
