Toronto-based Enersion Inc. has invented a green cooling technology, one that converts hot water into cold water by using a material with tiny pores. This enables massive amounts of cooling without electricity. The A/C system is also paired with hybrid solar panels that simultaneously produce both electricity and hot water.
“It is essential to replace the current technology with a solution that is sustainable, does not create a burden on energy resources and does not use refrigerants that leak into the atmosphere,” said U of T alumnus, Hanif Montazeri, CEO and Co-Founder. “Enersion’s technology truly provides the cleanest and most efficient way to harness solar radiation.”
The startup has previously received support from the Centre for Entrepreneurship.
