Solar Cold Storage

Nepal is an agricultural dependent country; the implementation of solar cold storage systems holds immense importance and presents promising opportunities. Given the country's heavy reliance on agriculture as a primary economic activity, preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of harvested crops becomes pivotal. Solar cold storage systems offer a sustainable solution by harnessing abundant sunlight to power refrigeration units, ensuring a continuous and eco-friendly energy supply. This approach not only addresses the challenge of unreliable electricity infrastructure in rural areas but also significantly reduces operational costs for farmers. The opportunities lie in enhancing post-harvest management, reducing food wastage, and creating a more resilient agricultural supply chain. By adopting solar cold storage, Nepalese farmers can optimize their yield, gain access to wider markets, and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices, aligning with the nation's goals for energy independence and environmental stewardship. Moreover, the scalability of such systems allows for their adaptation to various crop types and geographical regions, fostering inclusive agricultural development across Nepal. RGR-Nepal has been offering several solar cold storage projects in Nepal specifically focusing on the pocket area of vegetables and fruit production.

Renewable Energy and sustainable development Research

Only the appropriate consideration, investment and research on renewable energy will bring innovative, less expensive and more secure energy integrated across regions paving the way for the sustainable development. The company will provide progress towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals and to help and understand the transformation process over time and outline the roles of different levers in facilitating various stages of transformation. It will navigate the relationships among social environmental and economic development objectives through the collaborations with different partners.

Solar energy-based technologies

Nepal is considered as one of the countries with the huge solar energy potentiality. Nepal is an agricultural country, whereby majority of the GDP of Nepal is contributed by the agricultural sector. In this context, Solar cold storage systems offer a sustainable solution by harnessing abundant sunlight to power refrigeration units, ensuring a continuous and eco-friendly energy supply. This approach not only addresses the challenge of unreliable electricity infrastructure in rural areas but also significantly reduces operational costs for farmers. The opportunities lie in enhancing post-harvest management, reducing food wastage, and creating a more resilient agricultural supply chain. By adopting solar cold storage, Nepalese farmers can optimize their yield, gain access to wider markets, and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices, aligning with the nation's goals for energy independence and environmental stewardship. RGR Nepal is dedicated to promote such solar based technologies like solar cold storage and water pump technology in Nepal.

Knowledge/Technology transfer

It is only through the technology/knowledge transfer of the technological advancements in the developed countries that the developing countries could reap the benefit in terms of productivity, efficiency, economic growth and sustainable development. Customizing proven technologies ensures that they align with the unique socio-economic, geographic, and cultural aspects of Nepal, maximizing their effectiveness and sustainability. This approach not only promotes self-reliance but also fosters a resilient and adaptive technological ecosystem that can drive inclusive growth and address the specific needs of the country. RGR-Nepal has been establishing cooperation and collaboration with different international academic and other institutions to import the internationally proven technologies in Nepal.

Hydrogen

"Hydrogen:" Nepal, in its pursuit of fossil fuel alternatives, apart from the sustainable options like hydropower, solar, wind, and biofuels can turn to hydrogen contributing not only to its economic growth but also aligning with its net-zero goals. Transportation stands out as a key domain for hydrogen's impact, utilising both fuel cell and hydrogen internal combustion engine (H2ICE) technologies. Fuel cells efficiently convert hydrogen's chemical energy into electricity, while H2ICE with its mature technology offers an economically viable solution for transportation decarbonization. Hydrogen, as a versatile catalyst, holds immense potential to drive decarbonization in households, transportation, and industries. This marks a pivotal step towards a sustainable, eco-friendly future, balancing clean energy transition complexities with practical and transformative solutions to the country like Nepal. Renew Gen Resources Nepal is almost at the demonstration phase of the H2ICE technology in mutual collaboration with the international university.
