The cooling production, coupled with renewable electricity generation, are considered a cornerstone technology to meet increasing global cooling demand whilst decarbonise various sectors. According to the International Energy Agency, only accounting the air-conditioning sector, consumes about 20% of the overall electricity used globally and is expected to be doubled by 2050. Improving the efficiency, reliability, affordability, and environmental performance of cooling systems is critical to maximum benefit for society and the environment. 

HydroCool project will develop a novel cooling production concept that can significantly improve the cooling system performance beyond the state-of-the-art. 

Start date: September 2024 - End date: September 2027
