"EcoFrio circular Bakata · Clean Energy "EcoFrio circular Bakata Country: 🇨🇴 Colombia · Bogotá Category: Clean Energy CT Taxonomy: CT-EN-001 — Solar PV Impact Areas: Adaptation, Circular Economy, Nature-Based Stage: Sketches Team Size: 1.0 Funded: False Elevator Pitch We have developed a portable solar cooler made from recycled polymers to provide sustainable cooling in areas without access to the power grid. Our system uses advanced thermal efficiency technology and is protected by a green patent. Climate Problem We are tackling the climate crisis by transforming recycled polymers into clean energy solutions. This is vital for curbing global warming and reducing the industrial carbon footprint. Solution We offer a portable, solar-powered cooling system made from recycled polymers. In practice, we eliminate CO2 emissions and repurpose post-industrial plastic waste. Revenue Model My plan is to generate revenue through the direct sale and rental of solar-powered refrigeration units made from recycled polymers. We also offer maintenance contracts and services for sustainable logistics, thereby diversifying our cash flow. Target Market Our target audience includes small businesses, government agencies, and NGOs. We focus on clients who need energy independence and cost savings through solar cooling. Social Impact People of African Descent, Indigenous Peoples, Roma - Sinti and Travelers, Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic - Religious and Linguistic Minorities, Migrants, Refugees - Asylum-seekers and Internally Displaced People, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women, LGBTQI+ People Demand Evidence Based on the 2026 Energy Transition Act, the need is real: there is a 40% shortfall in clean cooling in off-grid areas. My project addresses the government’s mandate to decarbonize the cold chain through the circular economy Competitors None of them use clean energy, recycled polymers, or autonomous cooling Founder Expertise Empirical researcher and technical developer. I have spent months teaching myself thermodynamics and polymers to create a unique solution. My knowledge comes from hands-on experimentation and the design of the green patent. External Support None Team Head of Research, Development, and Strategy: I oversee technical design, polymer stress testing, and management of the Green Patent. I supervise the commercial viability of the invention and its adaptation to the regulations of the 2026 Treaty. Founder Edison David Afanador Carranza
