Hybrid energy system for clean cooking and electricity generation
Project disclaimer
Description
This aim of this UK-Nigeria-Ghana mid-stage collaborative project is to optimise the concentrated-solar-power (CSP) and thermoelectric generator (TEG) hybrid energy system we developed in previous project, testing and demonstrating them in relevant user environment. The system has clear benefits of providing both clean energy for cooking and off-grid electricity, addressing the energy access issue in the targeted countries. The project will allow the UK consortium (Thermoelectric Conversion Systems, Cranfield University and University of Derby) to collaborate with a Nigerian company (IBEDA) and a Ghanian company (Conlons Kitchen) to optimise the design of the energy system, build demonstrators locally in Nigeria, field test its performance in rural communities of Nigeria and Ghana, conduct market research, and develop relevant GEIS and business models. The system will have an additional international market in other sub-Saharan and South Asian countries. This project will enable the consortium to progress into further TRL development and commercialisation post-project. Successful outcomes will bring competitive energy products to a significant and growing market.
Objectives
This activity is funded under the Energy Catalyst Programme. The Energy Catalyst programme supports innovative businesses and organisations to find new commercial solutions that help provide clean, affordable and secure energy in sub-Saharan Africa, South and South East Asia. It will support highly innovative, market-focused energy solutions in any technology or sector. They must be targeted at people, public services and local enterprises who are unable to afford or access existing solutions, or who lack the the time or expertise to successfully use those solutions. Grant funding will be provided to support businesses to undertake research, development and innovation activity on innovative products or services, business models and processes. Incubation support will also be provided to help some of the businesses to take their innovations to market faster, as well as further support to enable access to investors and customers and maximise the potential created.
