Solar Cooling Engineering — Solar Refrigerator Testing

Organization Site
  • Portfolio Area: Human Health and Wellbeing
  • Focus Area: Scientific Research
  • Organization Name: Solar Cooling Engineering
  • Amount: $100,000

  • Award Date: October 2021

Table of Contents

    Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $100,000 to Solar Cooling Engineering, a small company based in Germany, to support field tests for a new solar-powered refrigerator model designed for use in Africa. If the tests are successful, this refrigerator could be used to cost-effectively produce ice and improve cold chain logistics for vaccines. Currently, several African countries have inadequate cold chains, which hampers the implementation of many new vaccines.

    This falls within our focus area of scientific research, and specifically within our interest in advancing human health and wellbeing.
