- Science
When we talk about cooling, we think about refrigeration and air conditioning. Access to cooling is important for food security, health prosperity, and productivity. However, currently, cooling equipment contributes 7% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. If we continue operating at business-as-usual, the cooling sector’s emissions could double by 2050.
In summary, cooling equipment uses conventional refrigerants with high ozone-depleting potential and global warming potential. Our guest, Mary, talks about her work that supports the transition to clean and sustainable cooling technologies.
