Julia Römer
Julia Römer is a wonderful scientist who is changing the world of medical refrigeration in developing countries through application of a weird-sounding technology – ‘Cooling with Heat’.
Of course, to get to this point, she has put in a lot of hard work. Julia first secured a B.Sc. from the Technical University of Berlin. She followed-up this up with some serious study of entrepreneurship, climate innovation and business model development, before picking up a Masters in Industrial Engineering, again at Berlin.
Since January 2014 she has occupied a Research Assistant seat at Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons & Climate Change
In April 2014, Julia founded Coolar. This fantastic business has develop a superior electricity-free cooling system for medical fridges that is powered by warm water heated by solar panels. Without any batteries, gears, electrical components or rotating parts, the innovative design provides an economical solution for the storing of medicines and vaccines for isolated regions with unreliable or costly electricity. The product in ingenious. The benefits it provides are incalculable.
The sun has existed for 4.5 billion years, but we are only now reaching the cusp of a solar revolution. We are seeing a far wider range of applications for solar power than ever before, with businesses increasingly working towards a more sustainable future.

This Vaccine Refrigerator Runs On Evaporation Cycles
Coolar’s solar-powered refrigerators could improve the way vaccines are stored in developing countries
Living off the grid, without access to stable electricity, carries consequences beyond simply not being able to switch on the lights at night. In hospitals and clinics across developing regions, the inability to rely on electricity — or a complete lack thereof — translates into profound shortcomings in the provision of life-saving treatments.
