Solar ColdBox Provides Refrigeration, Water, Power for Developing World
All these functions can be done with virtually no operating costs
ONTARIO, Calif. — Aldelano Corp. has announced its Solar ColdBox™, an industrial-grade, portable, solar-powered cold storage mini-warehouse that provides refrigeration, freezing capacity, water, ice, and a renewable auxiliary power source, designed for developing nations. The company said all these functions can be done with virtually no operating costs.
According to figures from the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), up to 40 percent of food produced in the developing world is wasted before it reaches the market, resulting in a loss of 1.3 billion tons of food with a value of more than $1 trillion. Most of that waste occurs because of inadequate storage and refrigeration equipment in places that lack a reliable infrastructure.
