eChiller – The World’s Most Sustainable Refrigeration Systems

Efficient Energy, the German clean cooling pioneer for sustainable refrigeration technology, is setting new standards for sustainability and climate protection in the refrigeration industry: From 2022, the clean tech company will produce its eChiller product series as climate-neutral refrigeration machines and, as such, become the refrigeration industry’s only supplier worldwide to offer climate-neutral chillers.

Climate protection pioneer paves the way towards a climate-neutral industry

The refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment used by the global refrigeration industry accounts for around 8 percent of the world’s CO2 emissions. But these are only the direct and indirect emissions caused by the fluorinated refrigerants and energy-intensive processes used by conventional technologies: If the emissions of a chiller life cycle analysis are used as the basis, and the entire net impact on the environment – from raw material extraction to disposal – is calculated, the bottom line is even more alarming. HVAC industry pioneer, Efficient Energy, is the only supplier of chillers to have gone this extra mile to date and is setting new standards in doing so.

Together with climate protection expert ClimatePartner, the carbon footprint of the entire eChiller product family was calculated and documented, from the raw material and logistics data through to packaging and disposal. The CO2 equivalent emissions of these products were then offset by a recognised climate protection project that is certified in accordance with international standards and, additionally to climate protection, also contributes to many of the United Nations’ Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).

By combining the use of water as a climate-neutral refrigerant and the use of green electricity, Efficient Energy can offer its customers comprehensive, climate-neutral cooling that allows the operator to reduce its carbon footprint in this area to zero.

“Not only are we pioneers of sustainable refrigeration technology and stand for water as a refrigerant, but holistic climate protection and sustainable business belong to our unambiguous corporate values. With Efficient Energy itself having been climate neutral since 2020, it’s the next logical step of our Green Pledge that our products should also be climate neutral. I hope as many companies as possible will be as resolute as us in implementing their sustainability goals, and will have the courage to take the next steps towards a climate-neutral industry,” comments Efficient Energy CEO, Georg Dietrich.

Water – the most sustainable of all refrigerants

Efficient Energy’s eChiller product range employs Bluezero® technology which allows water to be used as a refrigerant and dispense entirely with environmentally harmful and sometimes hazardous F-gases. Bluezero® technology is ideal for cooling data centres and server rooms, industrial processes, machines and switch cabinets as well as for building air conditioning.
