Promethean Power Systems

Promethean Power Systems, based in Boston, USA and Pune, India, designs and manufactures energy storage systems that are redefining the cold chain from farm to fork in a more sustainable manner. Its patented thermal energy storage technology enables energy-efficient refrigeration of fresh food items as they make their way from smallholder farmers i... n rural villages to processing plants and customers in urban centers. Promethean's energy storage device uses proprietary phase-change materials to store large amounts of thermal energy. This thermal battery is designed to release energy at fast rates to cool food products quickly thereby preserving their freshness, while eliminating the use of diesel for cooling. Promethean works with leading dairy and food companies to implement its cold chain technology in their supply chains to better preserve perishable foods and reduce costs. Promethean's suite of cold storage products include farm and village level milk chillers, cold storages, and refrigerated trucks. The company's award-winning energy-efficient refrigerated trucks do not utilize diesel for cooling and eliminate the need for on board compressor, thereby significantly reducing carbon emissions. Its reefer vans and trucks are designed for intra-city/last-mile or inter-city food distribution and were recently awarded by RefCold India and Emerson. Promethean works with premier food industry customers such as Hatsun, ITC, Amul, Fonterra, Parag, Akshayakalpa and Licious.
