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 match the performance and efficiency of comparable vapour compression systems.
As global demand for cooling surges, high-efficiency, refrigerant-free alternatives are urgently needed. We’re proud to be featured in a report that recognises the growing momentum behind solid-state cooling— and the critical role they can play in meeting climate and energy goals.
