Cooling is an essential need in everyone´s modern daily life. In an increasingly warming world, the impact of not having access to modern cooling solutions is profound. Deploying the most efficient, best-in-class technology brings huge environmental and socio-economic benefits by responding to the growing cooling demand and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, creating sustainable, efficient cold chains can reduce food loss and keep vital medicine stored safely.

The new ‘Chilling Prospects: Providing Sustainable Cooling for All’ report, released by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and the Kigali Cooling Efficiency Program (K-CEP), outlines recommendations on how to increase access to affordable and sustainable cooling solutions throughout the world. As an industry leader in airconditioning and refrigeration and member of SEforALL’s initiative Cooling for All, Danfoss has directly contributed to the report with technological insights. The industry has a big role in sharing expertise on how to build a vision for a sustainable future with the best available technologies.

During the panel discussion, Galyen commented ‘As the report has shown, we are challenged by heat extremes for the most vulnerable people, inefficient cold chains and a warming world. It underlines that we need to act today; and the good news is that, we have proven, available solutions to do so. Danfoss has solutions that help to properly control temperature in commercial buildings, food and vaccines.

Industry has proven we can meet technological challenges. Now we need to take a holistic approach that includes supportive regulation, incentives, education and collaboration to deploy the proven technologies that are available today to achieve sustainable cooling for all.’ Danfoss is fully committed to accelerating energy efficiency as a way to provide cooling access for all. The key focus is to enhance global adoption of efficient, sustainable cold chains to keep our food fresh and safe and preserve medicine and vaccines.
