Cooling plays a key role in health, food preservation, industrial efficiency, and economic development. However, the growing global demand for cooling presents a major environmental challenge and an urgent need for innovation.
Currently, cooling systems rely on century-old vapor compression technology, which is highly energy-intensive. In many regions, cooling accounts for a substantial share of electricity consumption—the U.S. alone uses more energy for air conditioning than the entire continent of Africa consumes for all purposes. This trend will accelerate rapidly as incomes rise and climate change increases cooling needs. By 2060, global energy demand for cooling is expected to overtake that of heating.
Most AC and refrigeration systems depend on fluorinated gases (HFCs), which have an extreme global warming potential (GWP)—trapping up to 4,000 times more heat than CO2 when leaked.
Dynamic Air Cooling (DAC) introduces a fundamentally new approach to cooling, offering a sustainable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional technologies. Instead of relying on refrigerants, DAC cools air by reducing its internal energy, eliminating the need for harmful fluorinated gases .
This innovative system is designed to significantly reduce energy consumption and environmental impact:
● more energy-efficient than traditional vapor compression cooling.
● Zero refrigerants, eliminating HFC-related emissions.
● Up to 30% lower CAPEX due to its simpler design and compact size.
● Versatile applications: DAC can be implemented in residential cooling, industrial refrigeration, automotive air conditioning, and even large-scale infrastructure such as data centers and LNG terminals.
By addressing the growing global need for sustainable cooling, DAC contributes to multiple EU strategic priorities, including energy efficiency, industrial innovation, and climate action.
