Production of ice blocks from solar power for the benefit of isolated areas.

The Renewable Energies Development Center (CDER) is a research center resulting from the restructuring of the High Commissioner for Research, established on 22 March 1988.

It is a scientific and technological public institution (EPST) responsible of conducting research and development programs, scientific and technological, of energetic systems using solar, geothermal and biomass energy.

The CDER as a scientific center, actively participates in the national program for research and technological development, as defined by law and policy program at five-year projection on scientific research and technological development.

The national programs selected on this program are focused on economic and social priorities in order to meet the strategical needs for the economical development.

The CDER, since its creation,works on the application of this strategy through the deployment and integration of several projects and pilot projects at national level.

The CDER with its research teams and its three research units :

Solar Equipment Development Unit (UDES),
Applied Research Unit for Renewable Energies (URAER),
Research Unit for Renewable Energies in Saharan Regions (URERMS),
In addition of its commercial subsidiary ER2, which is present all over the country as an excellence center on renewable energies through its scientific productions and its innovations in social-economical sector for the population especially the remote ones.

"Production of ice blocks using solar power for the benefit of isolated areas:

Food preservation: Ice blocks can be used to maintain the freshness of perishable foods, which is crucial in areas where refrigeration options are limited.

Transport of fragile goods: By using ice blocks to maintain the temperature of fragile goods during transportation, losses can be reduced and the quality of food products ensured.

Fishing (maritime, riverine): Fishermen can use ice blocks to keep their catch fresh during long periods at sea or on rivers, contributing to maintaining product quality and increasing market value.

Bakery: Ice blocks can be used to cool ingredients and equipment in bakeries, which is essential for ensuring the quality of finished products, especially in hot climates.

Beverage cooling: Ice blocks can be used to chill beverages in areas where refrigerators are not readily available, providing a simple and effective solution for keeping drinks cool.

Medical applications: In isolated areas where access to medical facilities is limited, ice blocks can be used to store temperature-sensitive medications and medical supplies, ensuring their effectiveness.

In summary, the production of ice blocks using solar power can play a significant role in various areas, helping to preserve food, improve transportation conditions, support fishing activities, maintain the quality of food and beverages, and ensure the availability of medical supplies in isolated areas."
