Game-changing financial models to unlock investments in clean cooling

Details

Webinar on March 6th 2020

Space cooling accounts for 10% of the world’s electricity consumption. According to IEA, CO2 emissions from cooling have tripled since 1990 to 1.1 billion tonnes, equivalent to approximately twice the total emissions of Brazil, and it will triple again by 2050. This demand requires innovative technical and financial solutions to guarantee that energy efficient cooling solutions are used and the impact on climate change is limited. This webinar will help you to understand innovative financial models overcoming the key market barriers for providing efficient cooling while at the same time reducing cost and risks for your clients in the Commercial and Industrial segment.

You will discover:

  • The current market and trends in the cooling segment
  • Why cooling is relevant for climate change
  • Mega trend: Servitization across industries
  • The “Cooling as a Service” (CaaS) financial model: how it works, challenges and opportunities.
  • How GCPF and BASE can support you in implementing CaaS projects
  • Lessons learnt from a company offering cooling services
