Cold storage with a lighter footprint.
All-electric operations, low-GWP refrigerants, and Scope 1/2/3 emissions accounted for. MICSF was engineered from the foundation up to lower the carbon intensity of cold storage — without giving up an inch of performance.
GHG measurement and reporting, earned the hard way.
MICSF operator Taylor Logistics has completed Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition (Supplier LOCT) — a globally recognized educational platform built to accelerate emissions reductions across supply chains.
Through that work, Taylor achieved GHG footprinting across Scope 1, 2, and 3 and earned the GHG Measurement & Reporting badge. The work goes beyond our own four walls: it gives our customers, vendors, and partners the visibility and accountability they need to drive their own decarbonization.
GHG Measurement & Reporting
The map of where our carbon actually comes from.
We measure direct emissions, the energy we buy, and the activities up & down the value chain — because you can’t reduce what you don’t count.
What we burn or release.
On-site fuel combustion and refrigerant losses. MICSF runs all-electric with low-GWP CO₂ refrigerant — near-zero on-site combustion.
The grid we plug into.
Purchased electricity, heating, and cooling. We monitor energy in real-time and offset traditional load with on-site rooftop solar.
Everything else, up & down.
Drayage, transport, business travel, purchased goods, end-of-life. Port adjacency cuts truck miles before the engine even starts.
State-of-the-art systems, built for low impact.
Comprehensive CO₂ refrigeration, low-GWP refrigerants, real-time monitoring, and rooftop solar — engineered into the building, not bolted on after.
An efficient CO₂ management system, top to bottom.
MICSF is designed with a comprehensive CO₂ management system that underscores its commitment to sustainability. State-of-the-art refrigeration technology uses low-GWP refrigerants — significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional systems.
Real-time monitoring tracks and optimizes energy usage across both storage rooms, every dock door, and every rack — maximum efficiency, minimum environmental impact, baked into the daily operating procedure.
Natural CO₂ system
Low-GWP, naturally-occurring refrigerant. A fraction of the climate impact of legacy HFC systems.
Rooftop solar array
The largest rooftop solar array on a cold storage facility in Maine. Clean kilowatts, every sunny hour.
Energy & emissions telemetry
Live tracking of energy use across the facility — with the data flowing into our GHG reporting and your sustainability dashboards.
Port-adjacent — lower drayage miles, lower fuel use.
Lower carbon emissions, real-world payoff.
Six places where MICSF’s engineering choices show up as fewer molecules in the atmosphere — and a more resilient cold chain for our customers.
Lower fuel use
MICSF’s strategic location reduces drayage miles and optimizes routes — cutting fuel use and emissions before the truck even leaves the dock.
Energy-efficient systems
Advanced refrigeration and monitoring tools reduce waste and improve energy efficiency across every storage room and dock door.
Smarter refrigerants
Low-GWP CO₂ refrigerants reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance — or temperature integrity.
Renewable energy
On-site rooftop solar — the largest of any cold storage facility in Maine — offsets traditional load with clean alternatives.
Carbon tracking
Integrated systems support better CO₂ tracking and data-backed sustainability reporting — numbers your team can hand to your auditors.
Support for global goals
MICSF aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals — responsible consumption, climate action, and resilient communities.
Aligned with SDG 12, 13, and 11 — consumption, climate, communities.
Our work tracks against the goals our customers are reporting against. Numbers, not narratives.
A cold chain that pulls its climate weight.
MICSF is a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility built for the evolving demands of today’s supply chain — engineered for low-impact operations and ready to plug into your sustainability reporting from day one.
106,000 sq. ft. of frozen and refrigerated storage at the International Marine Terminal — with direct port, rail, and road access for your entire cold chain. Two independent rooms. One reliable partner.
