Some of the gases used as blowing agents of insulating foam (such as HCFs, recently banned from production in Canada but still in use) have a high global warming potential and their use is in phase-down due to the amendment to the Montreal Protocol in 2015. To replace the polyurethane foams used for refrigerated transport vehicles, aerogels are good candidates, they are light and thermally very efficient. They would allow reducing significantly the fuel consumption of vehicles by decreasing their weight and the energy needs. Research is seriously needed in the cold chain, but several factors due to traffic conditions are often out of our control. Improving the isothermal performance of refrigerated transport boxes will directly save the fuel consumed by the refrigeration unit. In addition, this will result in a reduction in fuel consumption of perishable food transport equipment and a cost reduction for consumers. The potential is huge since there are about 5 million refrigerated vehicles in use worldwide. Canada, particularly Far North communities that suffer from supply difficulties, and virtually all countries would benefit from better transport systems to reduce the risk of food and health product losses.

某些用作绝缘泡沫吹式泡沫的气体（例如HCFS，最近在加拿大禁止使用但仍在使用中）具有很高的全球变暖潜力，并且由于2015年蒙特利尔协议的修正案，它们的使用处于相反的状态。用于更换冰期的运输车辆的多素泡沫，良好的是，它们是良好的，它们是良好的，它们是良好的，它们是良好的。它们将通过减少体重和能量需求来大大减少车辆的燃油消耗。在冷链中，严重需要进行研究，但是由于交通状况而导致的几个因素常常无法控制。改善冷藏箱的等温性能将直接节省制冷单元消耗的燃料。此外，这将导致易腐烂食品运输设备的燃料消耗减少，消费者的成本降低。潜力很大，因为全球使用大约有500万辆冷藏车。加拿大，特别是遭受供应困难的北部社区，几乎所有国家都将从更好的运输系统中受益，以减少食品和健康产品损失的风险。
