Résumé

Sub-Saharan Africa, which faces the highest absolute and per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from food loss, has much to gain from optimised cold chain management, with the potential to reduce these emissions by an impressive 66%1. However, if business as usual continues, the increasing demand for cooling also increases energy-related and product-embedded GHG emissions. Local assembly of cooling solutions presents a viable opportunity to mitigate GHG emissions while also delivering substantial social and economic benefits. 
This report serves as a blueprint for off-grid solar companies and practitioners to design sustainable cooling solutions. It draws on learnings from a low-carbon cold room design and implementation pilot in Kenya. The pilot was supported by the Siemens Cents4Sense initiative with the facilitation of Siemens Stiftung and the Efficiency for Access Research and Development Fund, with local implementation by We!Hub Victoria Limited (WeTu).
