Cut Cold Chain & Logistics Energy Costs in Davao by 75%
Davao cold chain operators are paying ₱119/litre for diesel — up 83% from ₱65 in 4 weeks. Karnot iHEAT R290 delivers the same defrost heat recovery, office heating and washdown hot water at COP 4.0–5.0 — saving ₱41,000–₱61,500/year per year.
The Davao Energy Challenge
Davao Region is Mindanao’s economic centre with strong food processing, agricultural and healthcare sectors. Mindanao accounts for 14.5% of Philippine GDP. Davao’s industries are heavily exposed to the current diesel price emergency hitting ₱119/litre.
With diesel now at ₱119/litre — up 83% from ₱65 in 4 weeks — every litre your cold chain burns is costing dramatically more than it did weeks ago. The time to switch is now.

Diesel at ₱119/litre — and Rising
Philippine diesel hit ₱119/litre in March 2026 — up 83% from ₱65 in 4 weeks. Every litre your boiler burns now costs dramatically more. iHEAT R290 runs on electricity — no diesel, no price risk, no Scope 1 emissions.
SEC PFRS S2 Reporting
Every litre of diesel your facility burns is now a reportable Scope 1 emission under SEC Memorandum Circular No. 16 (2025). iHEAT eliminates Scope 1 from heating entirely. Zero to report.

Electricity prices are volatile but iHEAT at COP 4.0–5.0 uses 75% less electricity than electric resistance heating for the same output. Even as grid prices rise your effective cost stays low.
Natural Refrigerant
R290 propane has GWP of just 3 — completely exempt from Kigali Amendment phase-downs. Future-proof for 30+ years. No PFAS. No forever chemicals. FLX Flex Defrost for energy recovery, iCRYO for blast chilling.
How Karnot iHEAT R290 Works for Cold Chain & Logistics
Extract
iHEAT extracts heat from ambient air at COP 4.0–5.0 — delivering 4.0–5.0x more energy than it consumes. Works in Philippine ambient temps of 28–35°C — ideal conditions.
Deliver
Hot water delivered to 40–65°C directly to your defrost heat recovery, office heating and washdown hot water. No combustion. No flue. No fuel storage. No Scope 1 emissions.
Save
₱41,000–₱61,500/year annual saving for a cold store with defrost recovery. Payback under 2 years. Runs on grid electricity — or add solar for maximum independence.
