It was made between 2019 to 2021. 1. First step for making this strategy was to create a working group with this subsector and make a lot of meetings with these actors - Know the barrier - Discernment with working group. Second step is doing the technical characterization of commercial refrigeration systems and make the Business as usual (BAU) scenario about the technologies used by Finally, doing the Roadmap for each kind of stores. Include in the strategy: All related to the education, training of services sector, and technical standard and include the finance alternative that exits in the country for supporting the CAPEX. supermarkets. Third: Define of alternatives for each type of retail. Seeing the availability of these technologies. Strengthening system manufacturers. Fourth: Making the reduction scenarios, what will happen if the supermakets subsector use a definitive alternative?
