In Canada, the industrial sector is responsible for approximately 37% of total energy consumption, and 38% of this consumption goes to heating and air conditioning. With global warming and the emergence of new demand such as for data centre cooling, experts agree that needs for cooling will exceed needs for heating by 2060.
By adopting thermal systems that represent true technological breakthroughs, companies in primary and manufacturing sectors of the industry could realize significant gains in energy efficiency. This could in turn narrow Canada's energy intensity gap with most European countries. National initiatives generally target the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and the adoption of coolants with a low environmental impact.
