The Cooling Challenge
Today, cooling consumes 25% of electricity generated worldwide and is responsible for 7% of greenhouse gas emissions. Cooling has become critical to our everyday lives. It is quickly becoming a basic need — required to create comfortable climates for living, to bring food to our tables, and to keep the internet running. The rising middle class and continued growth in urbanisation is expected to increase cooling demand. If left unchecked, the electricity used to power cooling systems will overburden electrical grids and increase planet-warming emissions.
