Location, energy availability and access to markets can determine whether cold-chain infrastructure delivers lasting value or simply becomes another facility. A new industry tool from Sustainable Energy for All is putting these factors under the spotlight.

ColdHubs highlighted how renewable energy can go beyond electricity generation to reduce food loss, protect incomes and strengthen resilient livelihoods at a workshop in Imo State.
“The market just flipped the script. After weeks of falling prices, every single fresh produce item tracked this week โ from tomatoes to livestock โ either rose or held firm. Spring onions, which crashed by half just seven days ago, staged a stunning comeback with prices climbing as much as 36% in the south. So what’s driving the surge, and who stands to win or lose? This week’s Market Weekly breaks down the numbers zone by zone.”
Instead of asking a battery to hold all the energy as electricity, what if you could store the cold itself?
That question changed everything. It led ColdHubs from its first scrap-metal prototype to a second-generation system that stores cooling energy directly โ the same way ice holds cold long after the freezer is switched off. A decade of building, deploying and redesigning in real Nigerian markets had produced something far beyond a cold room.
It had produced a cold chain.
A cold room cannot undo every post-harvest mistake. From field heat and handling to packaging and transportation, protecting fresh produce requires a cold chain that starts at harvest.
How a workforce made up of 88% young people at ColdHubs is helping reshape the infrastructure behind Africa’s food systems.
