Registration is open for the Cooling Down Webinar on “Renewable Cooling to Answer Climate and Energy Challenges”

14 November 2024

As global demand for cooling solutions continues to rise, the need for sustainable and renewable cooling technologies has never been more critical. This online event is particularly timely, given the current focus on clean, efficient cooling solutions that bridge European and local perspectives to answer climate challenges at COP29 and energy challenges in Europe: electricity grid infrastructure, cooling grid infrastructures, data centres, and urban heat island effect.

Registration is now open for the upcoming Cooling Down Webinar, “Renewable Cooling to Answer Climate and Energy Challenges,” scheduled for December 11, 2024, from 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. CET.

COOLING DOWN Project 

COOLING DOWN seeks to propose a vision for a renewable cooling sector in Europe in the coming decades, and issue policy recommendations and proposals to achieve it. Beyond the technological, economic, and social trends to be assessed through research, expert consultations and modelling, the COOLING DOWN project will also be seeking to address the contribution of renewable cooling technologies to climate change adaptation with a specific focus on the mitigation of the urban heat island effect. The COOLING DOWN project has received funding from the European Union under grant agreement 101077140 — LIFE21-CET-COOLING-COOLING DOWN.
