The Future of Cooling
Emissiv is developing transparent radiative cooling coatings that harness the power of deep space
The Cooling Paradox
Global warming is the defining challenge of our time. Yet as temperatures rise, we use more energy to cool, emit more greenhouse gases, worsen the urban heat island effect, and fuel a vicious heating cycle.
Cooling now accounts for 20% of global electricity use — a figure the IEA projects to double by 2050. With 2024 being the hottest year on record, we urgently need to rethink how we cool.
Battling climate change isn’t just about the energy transition, we need to reduce demand at the source. We believe the solution is not about more complex machines, but passive cooling.
Inspired by how ancient civilisations used to make ice in the desert, Emissiv is applying radiative cooling principles to modern materials science to design a multifunctional coating.
Keeping Cool in A Warming Planet
The world is heating up and we need to keep cool.
Power intense cooling solutions are only exacerbating the problem, so it’s time to take inspiration from the carbon-free techniques used by the civilisations before us.
​
At Emissiv we’ve taken the playbook of ancient Persian radiative cooling and developed a functional, transparent coating that helps lower surface temperatures without affecting the applications underlying aesthetic. Helping keep your applications cool without anyone knowing!!
