Solid-state cooling without the gases
Barocal was recently featured in an AFP piece exploring the future of air conditioning and how solid-state materials could reshape the way we cool our homes, buildings, and data centres. The article focuses on the barocaloric materials we’ve been developing—solid substances that heat up and cool down under pressure, without relying on polluting gases. These […]
Barocal featured in IEA’s Global Innovation Report
Barocal is recognised as a frontrunner in the “Race to First” for deploying solid-state cooling technologies—an emerging class of technologies with the potential to fundamentally change how we cool homes, industry, data centres, and more. The International Energy Agency (IEA) highlights our Gen2 prototype as a milestone in the field: the first solid cooling system to […]
Advanced Materials Panel at ISH 2025
At ISH Frankfurt 2025, Barocal took part in the Advanced Materials panel organised by VDZ – Wirtschaftsvereinigung Gebäude und Energie e.V. The session brought together companies developing innovative approaches to cooling and heating, such as Nanolop (phase change materials), BlueHeart Energy (thermoacoustic heat pumps) and Barocal. Florian Schabus, Barocal’s Chief Commercial Officer, contributed to the discussion that focused on the role […]
03 Creating a vicious spiral
Plus this demand growth means cooling could be 40% of peak energy use – which drives further planetary warming.
02 Demand is skyrocketing
But the warming planet means demand for cooling will treble, making the cooling pledge unachievable
01 Emissions must tumble
The global pledge has commited the industry to slash emissions by two thirds of 2025 levels
Come meet us at ISH Frankfurt
Barocal will exhibit at ISH 2025, one of the world’s largest trade fairs for HVAC and water technologies, which will take place in Frankfurt am Main from 17 to 21 March 2025. We’ll be based in Hall 11.1, stand C51L, as part of the Startup@ISH area organised by VdZ and Messe Frankfurt. This space brings together early-stage companies working on new approaches to […]
Barocal awarded €2.45 Million EIC Accelerator grant
Barocal has been awarded €2.45 million in grant funding from the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator, as part of its latest funding round. This was the most competitive round to date, with over 1,200 applications submitted across Europe. Just 71 companies were selected for funding, following a multi-stage evaluation process. The EIC is committing up to […]
Barocal at AHR Expo Orlando
In February, we traveled to Orlando, Florida, for AHR Expo 2025, the world’s largest HVACR event, bringing together more than 1,800 exhibitors and 50,000 attendees. The event served as a hub for manufacturers, engineers, and experts to present new technologies and innovations, discuss emerging trends, and address the challenges shaping the future of heating, ventilation, […]
