Much of the global air-conditioning industry relies on the gas the way the auto industry does on gasoline.
Asia already accounts for more than half the global air-conditioning market, and China alone for 70% of production.
Today, worldwide renewable production is estimated at about 750 billion kilowatt hours, which, I estimate, covers about three-fourths of current global air-conditioning demand.
The UN's climate change body, the IPCC, has projected that global air-conditioning energy demand will grow 33-fold from 300 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2000 to more than 10,000TWh in 2100, with most of the growth coming in developing economies.
Michael A. McNeil, a researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has looked at global air-conditioning use and found that air-conditioner ownership in warm-climate countries grows more rapidly than does economic growth.
HFO-1234yf has been identified as a new low global warming (GWP) refrigerant which has the potential to be a sustainable global solution for automotive air conditioning [1].
Finally, the global energy intensity of central air conditioning system of a twenty six-story office building in Guangzhou, China in design and real condition is compared and analyzed by e p decomposition method as a case study.
The time window for debating the benefits and costs of air conditioning on a global scale is narrowing — once a country goes down the air-conditioned path, it is very hard to change course.
According to the Alliance for CO2 Solutions, a grouping of organisations that support the use of CO2 Technology in car air conditioning, there is an estimated $14.5 billion global market for car air conditioning to fight for.
