Tradition meets innovation: King Philippe of Belgium and the President of Namibia, Nangolo Mbumba, supported a pilot project in the South African country.
A triumvirate of companies is driving innovation here. The Belgian companies Solhyd and COOSHA Impact Venture and the Namibian company Kaoko Green Energy Soutions launched a new product innovation on site.
The trick behind it is a patented technology that uses sunlight to split water vapor into hydrogen and oxygen. The fuel obtained in this way is stored in Rothschenk Pro Line pads and can be used independently for cooking.
As the fuel obtained in this way is very easy to transport, it can be easily transported as a backpack solution even without existing infrastructure in third countries.
The combination of sustainable energy generation, which is virtually free to maintain, and simple handling is ideal for development aid.
