Live from COP28, Marilyn Waite is joined by Ayoola Dominic, founder and CEO of Koolboks. With only 17% of people in Sub-Saharan Africa having access to refrigeration, Ayoola and his co-founder recognized the need to create accessible and affordable refrigeration in the Global South. Koolboks utilizes solar and water technology to store energy as ice instead of batteries. During their discussion, Marilyn and Ayoola explore the challenges in the cold chain infrastructure, emphasize the importance of local manufacturing, and discuss the impact refrigeration solutions have in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, from food waste elimination to energy conservation.
