ICAR-National Research Centre for Banana, Trichy, signed MoU with Thermal Energy Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (TESSOL), Mumbai (recognized by UNIDO for innovative energy solutions) and the Tamil Nadu Banana Growers Federation. The collaboration aims to design and assess the effectiveness of temperature control on the shelf-life of various banana varieties, particularly for long-distance domestic transport in a low-carbon emitting reefer container.
Dr. R. Selvarajan, Director, ICAR-NRCB, highlighted that carbon emissions in banana production result from improper practices, fertilizer misuse, and post-harvest handling and logistic activities. He emphasised that the low-carbon emitting reefer container developed by TESSOL could significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with these processes.
