A hybrid shipping container is a shipping system that utilises the energy of phase-change material (PCM) in combination with the ability to recharge without removing the media. This ability is known as "cold-energy battery".[1]

Currently, this technology is only being utilized in a limited number of shipping container.

A Cold-energy battery works by storing energy to a given temperature and using its thermal mass to maintain this temperature. It can be recharged by being placed in a temperature range applicable to its phase change window.
