Vital small business sector pilots climate-smart cooling solutions. 

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are vital sources of jobs and economic growth in emerging markets. Mexican HVAC and refrigeration distributor, Refrigeration Starr, is partnering with Spain’s BiofreshTech to conduct field tests at a range of MSMEs, including a butcher’s shop, a liquor retailer, a restaurant, and a fishmonger. They will pilot BiofreshTech’s integrated technology that needs only a small initial charge to cool or heat any space to the desired temperature for up to six days, operating autonomously, without the ongoing need for electricity, and with real-time control.
