Challenge Background
What we are looking for
We are looking for Zero to low carbon emission mechanized solution for agricultural equipment as tradition mechanized agriculture equipment run on diesel and generates high level of carbon. There is a crucial need to retrofit current equipment to make it electric and powered through solar energy or hydrogen fuel. Such equipment could allow for a shared usage among farmers and greatly improve soil preparation, harvesting of crops.
Solution criteria
Easy to use
Can work in remote areas
Electric (charged by solar energy or hydrogen)
Location service works without internet connection
Robust collection of data for food security
Low cost to small scale farmers (can be subsidized by government and NGO’s)
What we offer
We have an experienced technical and management team, great knowledge of the field, great connections in the water and energy ecosystem of Burkina Faso.
