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.
Every August, women return home with ideas, resources and networks. What if those same gatherings became a starting point for tackling food loss, protecting livelihoods and strengthening local food systems?
