This marked a significant step towards addressing India’s urban cooling challenges. Workshop was held as part of a Memorandum of Understanding signed between Tabreed India and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH's ‘Energy Efficiency Cooling’ programme, jointly implemented with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Ministry of Power.
Many notable speakers present, stressed on the technological research that needs to progress and greater focus should be put on enabling commercial and large-scale viability of innovative solutions that integrate solar power, waste to energy plants, city gas distribution networks, and so on.
The event was an essential opportunity for partners to coordinate their efforts to implement district cooling technologies that have significant environmental and economic benefits. The event also featured a roundtable that facilitated a dynamic exchange of ideas on the practical implementation of district cooling technologies.
“The lack of long-term thinking, and siloed approach across the value chain are major challenges we face in the transition to innovative cooling solutions like District Cooling. Today’s workshop has not only highlighted the critical role of district cooling in meeting our urban cooling needs but also broader climate goals and targets set by the government,” said Sudheer Perla, Managing Director, Tabreed Asia.
Nitin Jain, Program Head, Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH said, “This regional workshop will pave the way for uptake of District Cooling projects in Tamil Nadu by bringing together important stakeholders involved in the field. With energy efficiency being one of the focus areas of cooperation with India, GIZ continues to support and promote District Cooling as an energy-efficient alternative to conventional cooling systems. It will help create an enabling ecosystem for the upscaling of sustainable cooling in the country.”
There is a need for a common shared vision for sustainable cooling to propel diverse stakeholder efforts in the right direction, instill public and civil society confidence, and propose feasible business models for wide adoption. The event marked an important day for stakeholders to coordinate their efforts to adopt district cooling solutions with major environmental and economic benefits.
