Under Expo Zaragoza 2008’s main theme, “Water and Sustainable Development”, ClimateWell will be present all through the exhibition to promote Solar Cooling, the first and only HVACR system in the world that is able to store energy and supply both cold and heat powered by solar thermal energy, with no need to use external energy sources.

The Spanish-Swedish company is one of the sponsors of the Swedish Pavillion, which will be highlighted on September 3rd, Sweden’s Day, and will be used to exhibit the advantages of this high efficiency HVACR system, as well as its current and potential contribution for sustainable development. In this way, ClimateWell’s Solar Cooling system is part of the Swedish Pavillion’s main theme, which is present at Expo Zaragoza 2008 to demonstrate how it is possible to create a growth which is both ecologically and economically viable. For ClimateWell CEO Per Olofsson this combination is exactly what ClimateWell’s offer is all about. He said: “We have managed to develop solutions that are sustainable and at the same time profitable from day one. For Spain in particular, the profitability of ClimateWell’s Solar Cooling solution is increasing alongside the rising electricity prices.” Per Olofosson also highlighted: “ClimateWell’s participation as a sponsor of the Swedish Pavillion answers our conviction that urban sustainable development is not an expensive need, rather a cost effective and environmentaly friendly alternative. There is no doubt that both the exhibition’s main theme and the interpretation and adaptation undertaken by the Swedish pavillion answers this commitment.”

Sweden has become one of the leading nations in sustainable development, making green technology a new economic sector on an international level. In fact, and according to the rating prepared by the German organization Germanwatch, Sweden is the country with the best results in the fight against climate change. Since 1999, the Swedish Foreign Trade Council and several Swedish companies have worked together to consolidate this new industrial sector, defined as the Swedish Green Technology Network. It includes water and wastewater treatment stations, waste management and recycling, atmospheric contamination, renewable energy and energy efficiency improvement. According to the company’s press release, ClimateWell’s Solar Cooling system replaces the conventional air conditioning and heat products fed by non-renewable energy sources that are used in these sectors, acting as a sustainable solution to provide comfort to all kinds of buildings, which represent 30 to 40% of CO2 emissions each year. ClimateWell has also recently been nominated for the SACC Deloitte Green Award, which will be presented at The Royal Green Award Dinner, hosted by the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in New York on September 24th.
