I think AC will be a future issue for EnDev...in 2-5 years

Cold chain as a complex system. Mode of transportation for instance. In terms of on the ground implementation, what does it mean? Supporting innovators on the ground. Connectivity issue in cold chain.

Iterative improvements of product efficiencies - can help with costs reductions. Efficiency and affordability go hand in hand.

# data[].attributes.body
Business Model problem mainly. Getting affordability right. Knowledge is key too - e.g. VeraSol database. Cooperative models could be an interesting idea. Having a local champion who can then sell services to the community.

In order to scale up- refrigeration what need to be done?
Affordability is key. And improve the financing structure. PAYGO models. Targeted not only the product but also the service - e.g. how to resolve faults?

Challenge: Reducing food waste!
A number of programmes are taking forward programme to promote efficiencies, like LEIA (implemented by Energy Saving Trust and CLASP)

# data[].attributes.body
Cold chains in terms of medical devices - appliance aspect would be good to be developed - with more sustainable sources/development of renewables. Agri processing in country? (example of Nigeria)

Working with the last mile customer, getting the unit economics right is key. Important to consider the whole value - ultimately comes down to business viability and business model.

Poor workforce capacity to maintain cooling technologies especially in remote settings

Energy-Hub approach, for lack of a title. Something that is done

Passive, portable vaccine cooling technologies including higher level cold boxes and last mile vaccine carriers.

# data[].attributes.body
Provide financing to enterprises. Cooling got loads of applications. Circular economy was one of the themes. Cooling solutions in a market setting, one related with cooling & e-mobility and a couple others with farmers.

# data[].attributes.body
Need more good affordable passive coolers for consumers and local cold-chains

Portable cooling devices for last mile vaccine transport

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Blackfrog Tech has developed EMVÓLIO- a patented rapid cooling technology for safe last-mile transport of vaccines, breast-milk, blood-serums, medications & specimens with minimal freeze-thaw cycles.

Watch full demo

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Blackfrog develops last-mile cold chain technologies for transport & accountability of vaccines, serums, COVID-19 specimens and other biologicals that require strict temperature control. Blackfrog is based out of Manipal, India.

Nicola not speaking on behalf of the Commission. EU TAF provides assistance to the Commission. 2021/2027 Programme. There is an appetite of the Commission of working on these issues, including the agricultural/productive use. Interesting to hear from other on the call about the different technologies to feedback into the Programme.

Is not tech specific. Looks for the most appropriate solutions for countries they're working on. Agriculture/productive use is a focus! Hence, this forum enables EnDev to be closer to appliances space. Getting veggies to the market is important for them. Providing cooling for local producers - business models is of interest (the most efficient ones).

Funding availability and energy access - for expansion of the vaccine refrigerators cold chain development.

Key-Maker Model linking villages to urban markets, cross subsidy of cooling or other services provided by  the mini-grid operator

Covid - response: helping healthcare. Cold storage, hand-washing facilities, providing masks.

For Productive Use: Agricultural cold chains and storage is a big deal.
Also, local businesses providing a cooled store, pub, information center can be important for local economic development

# data[].attributes.body
Focused on cooling - cold chain for vaccines. Expanded to COVID vaccines - and upscaling that cold chain. How can we push for more integration of vaccine cold chain? Can they hold insulin?

# data[].attributes.body
Cooling and cold chains for Productive  Use and Social Infrastracture is of interest. Highly efficient technologies for off-grid use, and affordable ones for small local entrepreneurs

# data[].attributes.body
Vaccine refrigeration including ultra-low cold chain for COVID-19 vaccines.

# data[].attributes.body
In the last 4 years - medical cold chain, agricultural cold chain. On space cooling, efficiency savings (air cons) - pretty important but viability through renewables haven't reached potential yet.

# data[].attributes.body
Affordability in cooling has been of interest to a lot of people.

# data[].attributes.body
Primarily space cooling. Also looking into cold storage solutions. Including geothermal energy.
