Global Cooling Prize

  • Rising incomes, urbanization, and a warming planet are going to drive unprecedented growth in demand for comfort cooling — from 1.2 billion room air conditioners (RACs) today, to over 4.5 billion by 2050.
  • If we fail to innovate today, this growth in cooling demand will significantly exacerbate our climate crisis, while also placing a massive burden on electricity grids and consumers. Under a business-as-usual scenario, RACs alone could add about 132 GT of CO₂-equivalent (CO₂e) emissions cumulatively between now and 2050, resulting in over 0.5°C of global warming by 2100.
