One of the challenges to achieve successful low-carbon transformation in line with the climate goals set out in the Paris Agreement is the provision and effective deployment of finance to enable wide-spread uptake of low-carbon technologies. The refrigeration and air conditioning sector faces a particular challenge in the implementation of effective finance strategies given its cross-sectoral nature – extending from manufacturing of gases and appliances to energy end-use in buildings – and hence the different institutional responsibilities as well as policy and compliance regimes that affect the sector.
With this in mind, this online event focused on one particular financing opportunity: Cooling as a Service (CaaS). The business model aims to enable clients to benefit from climate-friendly and energy efficient cooling technologies without the need of an upfront investment. Users pay for the cooling they receive, rather than the physical product or infrastructure that delivers the cooling.
