RE5

RE5 is developing Clean & Affordable Energy for Rice (CAER), a supply-chain-linked model that enables food companies to support clean energy access in the rice-growing communities on which they depend. Working with Brunel University London and SAMA^Verte, the project will assess local energy needs and design and test a mobile solar DC unit for services including water pumping and filtration, phone charging and other productive uses. By linking UK rice buyers with communities in Sindh and Punjab, CAER aims to strengthen supply-chain resilience while establishing a scalable route to affordable, reliable and low-carbon energy.
