Powering Cooling with Renewables: A Path to Sustainable Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

The worldwide need for air conditioning and refrigeration is increasing swiftly, propelled by climate change, urbanization, and economic expansion. Conventional cooling systems predominantly depend on fossil fuels and utilize refrigerants with significant global warming potential, hence intensifying the issue they aim to address. This publication examines the capacity of renewable energy to energize sustainable cooling systems, thereby diminishing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing energy resilience. This article delineates a thorough approach to sustainable air conditioning and refrigeration through the analysis of technology developments, policy frameworks, and empirical case studies.
