🌞 Exciting News! 🌞 We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Horizon Europe project SUNNY, funded by the European Commission and coordinated by TU Berlin ! SUNNY will drive green energy transition and improve energy access in Africa for both refugees and local populations.

🌟 Project Update! 🌟 In June, the Kick Off meeting for the SUNNY project took place in Arua, Uganda. The meeting included a visit to the Bidibidi refugee settlement, providing valuable insights and reinforcing the mission to drive the green energy transition in Africa.

In SUNNY, Solektra Rwanda is enhancing solar home systems to provide clean, affordable energy to off-grid areas. Our modular design expands capacity to serve multiple households, reducing costs and making renewable energy accessible through flexible financing options. #SUNNYproject

🌱 solhyd's hydrogen-powered cookstoves in SUNNY offer a sustainable, affordable alternative to LPG and wood. By refitting existing stoves and using low-cost storage, we make clean cooking accessible, even in refugee camps. #CleanEnergy #HydrogenCooking #Sustainability #SUNNY

♻️ In SUNNY, Metanogenia is designing frugal biogas systems using local materials to meet the unique needs of African communities. These small-scale reactors turn organic waste into affordable energy, boosting local economies by powering activities like food processing. #Biogas

🚜 In SUNNY, Solektra Rwanda is developing solar-powered irrigation systems that cut costs, reduce environmental impact, and boost crop yields with IoT-enabled water management. These systems can transform agriculture in refugee camps, driving innovation in the Water-Energy-Food nexus

🌾 AkoFresh, through SUNNY, is revolutionizing food storage in Africa with solar-powered refrigeration! The systems offer reliable backup, a pay-as-you-store model, IoT-enabled monitoring, and local job creation, ensuring affordable, efficient food preservation. #FoodSecurity
