At its heart: a step change in performance

The cooling industry is under pressure from all directions: emissions regulations, soaring demand and the volatile cost of energy. Central to this puzzle is gas – whose inherent inefficiency turns these challenges into a vicious spiral: the warming world needs more cooling, but that cooling itself warms the world.

This important and urgent challenge drove over 15 years of research at Cambridge University’s world-leading Materials Science department. This resulted in ground-breaking solids, simple but super powerful refrigerants that deliver a step-change in performance and entirely eliminate fugitive emissions.

Crucially – unlike other technologies that have tried to replace refrigerant gasses – Barocal’s breakthrough solid is inexpensive, plentiful and safe. This has allowed us to build a modular, simple and scalable cooling system around it that is reliable and can run for millions of cycles. All of which helps solve the critical pressures that the industry, the world’s energy and the planet’s climate is under.
