Transitioning from diesel to electric grain mills in SSA could generate $2.5B in value by 2030 while saving 5M+ tons of carbon emissions. However inconsistent electricity supply, mill operator inertia, and ancillary costs hinder uptake. In CrossBoundary Innovation Lab’s latest Innovation Insight, we discuss the potential for financial incentives and awareness campaigns to accelerate the switch to clean electric milling.
