Most countries in the Asia-Pacific region have set NetZero greenhouse emission targets by mid-century, and national governments are working to update their energy and climate policies to achieve those objectives. Currently, cooling accounts for approximately 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This is attributed to rising temperatures, coupled with population and economic growth. If no action is taken, the demand for cooling is expected to triple by 2050.
District Cooling may provide essential support for the energy transition. District Cooling systems involve centralized cooling, where chilled water is produced in a centralized plant and distributed to multiple buildings through a chilled water pipeline. This initiative could result in up to a 50% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional cooling systems and up to a 30% decrease in installed cooling capacity compared to individual cooling systems. Additionally, District Cooling systems can integrate with renewable electricity from sources such as solar and wind.
Join us at the ASEAN Sustainable Energy Week 2024 (ASEW), the region's premier energy technology exhibition. The show will provide an outstanding platform to highlight these technologies and innovations to prospective buyers and policymakers across the region. Additionally, there will be showcases of cutting-edge products and technologies on renewable energy, energy efficiency, and energy storage from 1,500 world-class brands. The event will also be featuring major national pavilions from leading countries shaping the future of sustainable energy such as Germany, Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Taiwan.
