Reducing CO2 emissions through solar-powered cold chain systems

Under the GIZ-implemented Energy Program Indonesia, the “Solar Cold Chains for a Green Economy in Indonesia” (SOCOOL) Project aims to create suitable technological and market framework conditions to enable a long-term reduction of CO2 emissions in Indonesia's cooling sector as part of the energy sector.

Clear contributions towards Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contributions and renewable energy targets are also a part of the goals, along with achieving socio-economic improvements in related sectors of the economy such as the maritime sector with high demands for cold chain expansion and preservation of valuable goods.

This project contributes to Outputs 2 and 3.

Output 2 aims to develop technology partnerships between applied research, manufacturers, operators, and trading partners to promote solar PV implementation for cold chains systems.

Output 3 focuses more on promoting pilot applications by state actors and the private sector that demonstrate technologically and economically viable examples of the dissemination of solar cold chains.

AMC's Role

Our project responsibilites:

• Providing general technical advice enabling key stakeholders to adopt and integrate Solar PV in their strategic investment plans infrastructure, cold chain improvement, and expansion.

&:bull; Technically prepare new pilot projects and assist existing pilot projects during operation – safeguarding their functionality.

SOCOOL aims to support 5 pilot projects.

We provide input, expertise, provide knowledge products and/or training and capacity building measures at various levels of intervention, e.g. at macro level (national government), meso level (institutions / organizations such as associations or local government) and micro level (operators, technicians)
