Europe is testing air conditioners that don't use any refrigerants at all
Solid-state cooling startups test semiconductor, magnetic, and pressure-based heat pumps across Europe
The big picture: A new generation of cooling technology is beginning to move from lab testing into early real-world trials, as researchers and startups look for ways to cool buildings without relying on traditional refrigerants. The push comes as demand for air conditioning accelerates in Europe, where rising temperatures are exposing the limits of both existing systems and the buildings they are meant to cool.
