In response to set targets for reducing our carbon footprint and securing our energy future in Europe, the CharCool project combines the use of natural energy and nature-based solutions to achieve clean and efficient cooling. 

CharCool is an innovative and sustainable heat-driven cooling system, where the excess of clean renewable energy or waste heat is stored in a modular thermochemical energy storage system that allows for seasonal storage. 

CharCool challenges the current vision of the cooling industry by proposing a system that is highly flexible and reliable, thanks to its coupling with a high-energy density (200 kWh/m3) and inexpensive mid-/long-term thermochemical material. 

Start date: October 2024 - End date: October 2028
