Glaciem Cooling Technologies: Pioneering Sustainable Cooling Solutions
Revolutionising the HVAC&R Industry for a Greener Future
Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems play an integral role in modern economies, supporting industries such as food production, data center cooling, pharmaceuticals, and commercial buildings. However, the sector is the second-largest contributor to global warming after fossil fuel production and usage. HVAC&R consumes approximately 20% of the world’s electricity production and is responsible for 7.8% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, equating to over four billion tonnes of CO2 annually.
With the global population increasing, demand for HVAC&R systems will continue to rise, making it imperative to adopt sustainable cooling technologies. Glaciem Cooling Technologies is leading the way in this transition, developing innovative, energy-efficient solutions that reduce environmental impact while maintaining high-performance cooling standards.

Groundbreaking Cooling Technologies
Glaciem has developed a range of sustainable solutions, including:
Phase Change Material (PCM) Thermal Energy Batteries (TEB): Enhancing energy storage and efficiency.
Industrial CO2 Heat Pumps: Supporting the electrification of heating for a cleaner energy transition.
Dew Point CO2 (DPCO2) Cooling System: A revolutionary CO2-based refrigeration technology that offers a non-toxic, energy-efficient, low Global Warming Potential (GWP) alternative to conventional cooling systems.
The DPCO2 technology, which has received over $880,000 in investment since 2016, has been successfully demonstrated at:
Laboratory scale at the University of South Australia.
Pilot scale at The Bend Motor Sports Park, South Australia.
Full-scale implementation at Coles’ Norwood store, South Australia.
The results of the Coles Norwood trial were outstanding:
20% increase in refrigeration plant efficiency.
32% reduction in refrigeration plant peak power usage.
These impressive results highlight the technology’s potential to significantly improve energy efficiency while reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
