In an open letter to the Universal Postal Union (UPU), Africa55Durable, an organization focused on advancing sustainability across Africa and beyond, has pledged its support for sustainable green parcel transport.
“Our mission is to catalyze innovative initiatives for green, inclusive and resilient development, particularly in the logistics and sustainable mobility sectors,” wrote Ousmane Diakité, founding president of Africa55Durable.
In the letter, Diakité urged the UPU to “explore the revolutionary advances of the Neutrino Energy Group and to consider a strategic partnership between the UPU, the Neutrino Energy Group and Africa55Durable.”
“Together, we can transform postal logistics into an exemplary model of green and sustainable parcel transport, aligned with global carbon neutrality objectives,” he added.
Africa55Durable, founded by Diakité, is working in alliance with German mathematician Holger Thorsten Schubart, president of Neutrino Energy Group, to promote clean electrification through a breakthrough technology known as neutrinovoltaics.
This innovation captures the energy of neutrinos and other invisible radiation to generate electricity, offering what Diakité describes as a crucial resource for Africa’s development.
The UPU, as the backbone of global trade and connectivity, oversees vast volumes of parcels and mail daily. Yet, traditional fossil-fuel-based transport remains a major source of emissions. “Faced with the climate emergency, it is imperative to adopt innovative solutions that not only reduce the carbon footprint, but also ensure increased operational efficiency and energy independence,” Diakité said.
According to him, Neutrino Energy Group’s neutrinovoltaic technology provides such a solution. Its pioneering vehicle concepts include the Pi-Fly for air transport, the Pi-Car for ground mobility, and the Pi-Nautic for maritime shipping.
“These vehicles do not require any external charging infrastructure, because they continuously capture the kinetic energy of neutrinos—subatomic particles that pass through matter without interruption, day and night, in all weather,” he explained.
With advanced graphene-based metamaterials and doped silicon, these vehicles transform radiation into electricity stored in supercapacitors, managed by artificial intelligence.
Diakité described how the Pi-Car integrates neutrinovoltaic sheets to extend the autonomy of postal fleets, the Pi-Nautic reduces reliance on refueling while cutting port emissions, and the Pi-Fly could revolutionize international parcel deliveries with zero emissions.
He emphasized that by adopting this partnership, the UPU would not only decarbonize global logistics but also inspire its 192 member states to embed sustainability into postal operations, fostering fair trade and protecting the planet for future generations.
