Participants

The SolarChill Project brings together the expertise and resources of International Organizations who are the SolarChill Project Partners and major companies who are the Industry Participants. The Project Partners are responsible for the full scope of the SolarChill Project. The Industry Participants provide their technical expertise in accordance with decisions of the Project Partners.

Project Partners

All the SolarChill Partners have signed a cooperation agreement, participate in the SolarChill steering committee and have the same rights and obligations. The SolarChill Partners and their respective roles are:

  • Danish Technological Institute: coordinates technology development and field tests;
  • Greenpeace International: provides project coordination, environmental input and fund raising;
  • PATH: an international non-profit organization supported by donors including private foundations and governments provides technical assessment and coordinates field tests;
  • GTZ Proklima: provides technological assessment, field tests overseeing and fund raising;

Industry Participants
Though SolarChill benefits from the cooperation of private companies in the development of the technology, the SolarChill Partners are not endorsing the products of any one company, nor have they entered into any commercial relationship with any one company. Industry Participants provide their technical expertise in accordance with decisions of the SolarChill partners.

The Industry Participants and their respective roles are:

Danish refrigerator manufacturer Vestfrost: in cooperation with DTI, developed and produced the chest freezer prototypes of the SolarChill Vaccine Cooler.

Danish compressor manufacturer Danfoss: developed and provided the direct current, hydrocarbon compressor used in both prototype models

Industry Participants provide their technical expertise in accordance with decisions of the SolarChill Partners on a not for profit basis.
