While India’s current per capita cooling energy consumption is about one-fourth of the global average, it is growing rapidly. In the next two decades, cooling demand is expected to grow 8 times and cooling energy requirement 4.5 times. This poses a dual-threat for climate change – greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil-fuel-based energy required for cooling, as well as from high Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants like HFCs. Strategies for green cooling thus should be multi-faceted covering energy efficiency, natural refrigerants, and not-in-kind RAC technologies.
