description With the level of science and technology, the logistics industry is paying more and more attention to sustainable development. However, the current cold chain logistics industry generally has problems such as backward refrigeration technology, irrational distribution management, and outdated equipment, which make its energy consumption serious and cause severe carbon emission effects on the environment. Optimizing the carbon emission structure of the cold chain logistics industry is the top priority for ensuring the sustainable development of the logistics industry. The circulation of fresh products is mainly through cold chain logistics. However, there are some problems of excessively high cost of the cold chain and easy disconnection during the cold transportation process in Chinese cold chain logistics, which severely restricts the development of Chinese cold chain logistics. Because of the perishability and strong timeliness of distribution of fresh products, inventory costs, penalties, and damage costs need to be considered. Because fresh products should utilize refrigerated transportation, it is also necessary to consider refrigerated costs during transportation and cold storage cost in distribution centers. Based on the goal of the lowest total cost, this paper constructs an integer programming model and analyzes cases. By comparing the simulation results of the genetic algorithm and the hybrid algorithm, it is concluded that the hybrid algorithm is more effective.
