Japan is set to enhance its logistics landscape with the development of a cutting-edge cold storage facility in Nagaoka City. This new logistics center will feature an innovative ammonia and CO2 refrigeration system, designed to deliver top-notch energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
With a total capacity of 27,272 metric tons, the facility will include 23,641 metric tons for frozen storage, 1,174 metric tons for chilled goods, and 2,457 metric tons in utility zones. By integrating ammonia as the primary refrigerant and CO2 in the cold storage areas, the center not only maximizes refrigeration efficiency but also adheres to rigorous environmental standards by using non-fluorocarbon insulating materials.
Spanning 21,250 square meters, the center will boast advanced cooling technologies to ensure precise temperature control and efficient energy use. Key features include a positive-pressure desiccant air-conditioning system and a natural convection cooling system, both aimed at maintaining optimal conditions for a diverse range of cargo.
This strategic development addresses a crucial need in Japan’s Niigata-Hokuriku region, where there is a growing demand for advanced refrigerated storage solutions. Scheduled for completion in summer 2026, this new logistics hub promises to significantly boost supply chain efficiency and sustainability in the region.
