Pioneering innovation in zero-carbon heating and cooling
Barocal Ltd is developing new heating and cooling technologies to satisfy low-carbon requirements
Barocal is a spin-out of the University of Cambridge that is pioneering barocaloric technology to satisfy low-carbon heating and cooling requirements and provide a unique efficient solution without greenhouse gases. Our technology exploits materials that display large thermal changes on application and removal of pressure, known as barocaloric materials
The challenge
Heating and cooling represent the largest contribution to energy consumption and the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising heating and cooling is key to achieving net-zero carbon dioxide emissions. However, existing technologies still rely heavily on the combustion of natural gas to provide heating, and on the compression of volatile greenhouse gases to provide cooling
Our solution
Barocal’s cutting edge technology offers a new horizon for heating and cooling systems by using innovative solid refrigerants that are safe and have zero greenhouse global potential
