Witness a remarkable achievement in international collaboration and sustainable technology as we introduce the world’s first solar-powered ice maker—an innovative partnership between Germany and Indonesia. In this video, see how GIZ, ILK, AIREF, and ATW Solar have joined forces to transform the lives of Indonesian fishermen through renewable energy.
Transforming the Fishing Industry
This pioneering solar-powered ice maker is designed specifically for Indonesia’s fishing communities. It’s more than just a technological breakthrough—it’s a game changer. By combining German engineering with Indonesian expertise, this project is revolutionizing fish preservation, providing a lifeline to coastal communities.
A Powerful International Partnership
Explore the synergy between Germany and Indonesia as GIZ, ILK, AIREF, and ATW Solar come together for a common goal: empowering fishermen through sustainable innovation. This collaboration goes beyond technology, addressing real challenges in the fishing industry with forward-thinking solutions.
Bringing the Concept to Life: The Sulamu Pilot Project
Journey to Sulamu, East Nusa Tenggara, where the solar-powered ice maker’s pilot project is already making a tangible impact. By increasing the fish-on-ice capacity by 500 tons annually and contributing $140,000 USD to the local economy, this initiative is helping to ensure long-term prosperity for the region.
A Brighter Future for Coastal Communities
The solar-powered ice maker is driving real-world change in these coastal communities. With enhanced fish preservation, fishermen’s incomes are rising, and local economies are becoming more stable. This is not just about preserving fish; it’s about building a sustainable future for generations to come.
