Phaesun Off-Grid News - August 2015


Solar milk cooling for small farmers in Tunisia

Together with the agricultural institute of the University of Hohenheim, the Tunisian research institute INRAT and other partners, Phaesun will introduce solar milk cooling systems with six milk farmers in the rural areas of Tunisia. With the use of Off-Grid solar systems, the Steca DC refrigerators and ice as a cold storage medium, the university department for agricultural technology in the tropical/subtropical regions of the University of Hohenheim has developed a very energy efficient method to cool milk. The systems are now being tested in practice with a field test in Tunisia. With the systems the milk farmers will have the possibility to produce milk with a stable high quality standard and therefore increase their income.
The project was started in July 2015 and has a runtime of 2 1/2 years promoted by the German Ministry of International Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Please find more information about this project on the website of the University of Hohenheim here.

 


Bavarian state secretary visits Phaesun
The Bavarian state secretary Franz Josef Pschierer, as well as the politicians Stephan Stracke and Klaus Holetschek paid a visit to Phaesun Memmingen to exchange opinions about the Off-Grid power supply activities in developing countries. Initially the reason for this visit was the Bavarian Quality Award which had been awarded Phaesun before. Secondly, the meeting was used as an opportunity to discuss the possibilities of a cooperation between state organisations and the private industry which could enable Bavarian companies to create added value abroad. The BOSS conception which enables small local enterprises to develop new business models with the help of solar energy and create incomes aroused particular interest. Representatives of the German Association for International Cooperation (GIZ) which had already executed training programmes on these subjects together with Phaesun confirmed that this focus on the economic sector in rural regions is an important part of the international development cooperation. State secretary Pschierer pointed to the more than 25 foreign bureaus of the Bavarian ministry of economy which are always available to promote network activities. Please find photos of the state sectretary’s visit on our Facebook page here.
