Technical FAQs 4

Can solar-powered cold storage transform Africa's energy transition?

This aligns with GEAPP’s mission of accelerating the adoption of renewable energy across the continent and ensuring that Africa’s energy transition is inclusive and sustainable. Woochong Um, CEO at GEAPP, emphasized the significance of solar-powered cold storage in transforming the agricultural sector.

Are solar-powered cold storage units a good option for farmers?

This means that farmers often rely on expensive diesel-powered cold storage, if they have access to refrigeration at all. Sokofresh’s solar-powered cold storage units provide a clean, affordable alternative.

How does sub-Saharan Africa rely on cold storage?

According to the World Bank, an estimated 75% of sub-Saharan Africa’s agricultural output comes from smallholder farmers, many of whom do not have access to the electricity grid. This means that farmers often rely on expensive diesel-powered cold storage, if they have access to refrigeration at all.

How does sokofresh contribute to Africa's energy transition?

By reducing reliance on diesel-powered generators, Sokofresh is helping farmers lower their carbon footprints, contributing to Africa’s just energy transition. This aligns with GEAPP’s mission of accelerating the adoption of renewable energy across the continent and ensuring that Africa’s energy transition is inclusive and sustainable.
