With climate action taking the center stage in 2019, many sustainability legislations have been enforced on industries lately. Majority of them focus on reducing the industrial carbon emissions. The urgency can be understood from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports which state that CO2 emissions would have to be cut down by 45% within 2030 to ensure continued survival of mankind. The need for climate action is more crucial than ever as we have only a few years before the situation grows too big to control.
Biodiversity is a major component of any business. Healthy ecosystems such as the plant area and surrounding resources are critical inputs to the sustainability of an industry’s production and processes. Increasing industrialisation poses a huge problem to the limited assets of nature. As a leader in the Absorption Cooling and Heating technology, we endeavor to be a part of the solution and positively influence the biodiversity resources.
COOLING AND HEATING – ENERGY UTILISATION
Cooling and heating comprise a wide range of applications across various sectors and industries. In the commercial sector, it includes water heating, refrigeration, comfort cooling and heating. In industry, besides comfort cooling and heating, process cooling — from low temperature applications to high temperature applications also comes into play. Cooling and heating for residential, commercial and industrial purposes account for 50% of the total energy consumption of a nation. Considering the rate of urbanization and industrialization, worldwide power consumption for comfort cooling alone is estimated to increase 33-fold by 2100.
CONTROLLING INDUSTRIAL CARBON EMISSIONS
Since conventional cooling and heating solutions heavily rely on fossil fuels, the pressure adds only onto the existing crisis of CO2 emissions. Absorption technology is a smart solution to eliminate the catastrophic consequences pertaining to Cooling and Heating. Thermax Vapour Absorption Machines (VAM) use water as the refrigerant for cooling and heating solutions which is an ecofriendly alternative to the conventional refrigerants. Water has zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) when used as refrigerant in cooling and heating operations. Since the machines are driven by recovered heat from the industrial processes, dependency on electric grid is greatly reduced, consequently reducing huge amount of carbon emissions.
Thermax, being a thought leader in the energy and environment industry, focuses on securing the energy future of plants and facilities by making their cooling and heating systems efficient and environment friendly. With sustainability at the core of our technology, we have helped industries worldwide embrace solutions beneficial for their bottom-line and the environment.
