Waste 2 Wealth

Air-Conditioning Application:

In the tropics where air-conditioning is needed 365 days a year and energy cost is sure to escalate, data shows that electrical energy for air-conditioning consumes up to 65% of the building’s (office/residential/hotels) energy cost. This cost, with no compromise to performance/comfort, can be reduced by up to 90% which will result in the reduction of fossil fuel based carbon emissions and footprint at a scale (if deployed widely) large enough to catalyse impactful money savings.

For Project 2:

In ASEAN’s agricultural economies, post-harvest losses due to inadequate refrigeration cost billions annually, impacting farmers’ livelihoods and food security. Traditional cooling systems are energy-intensive and often inaccessible in rural/remote areas, where farms exist, due to unreliable/unavailable grid power.

Farmers are poor and middlemen are rich as produce prices are controlled by middlemen and farmers receive the short end of the stick due to the time based nature of their produce – perishability.

Problem Statement:

• Over 30% of perishable agricultural produce is lost due to inadequate cooling in ASEAN nations.
• Rural farmers lack access to reliable and affordable refrigeration due to high energy costs and grid limitations.
• Conventional refrigeration relies on fossil fuels, exacerbating carbon emissions and climate change.
• Waste Utilization: Transforms agricultural waste into a valuable energy source, reducing pollution and Methane production due to rotting.
• Affordability: Very low operational costs compared to diesel/grid-powered refrigeration, making it accessible even to small farmers.
• Carbon Neutrality: Greenhouse gases emitted are miniscule compared to BAU refrigeration systems.

Scalability: Modular design allows for adaptation to various storage capacities and applications, (e.g.1 unit GC400 cooling 1 unit 40’ container)
