Summary
The brief examines business models that address a key barrier to the uptake of sustainable cooling technologies – financing and affordability. The examined models —namely, cooling-as-a-service (CaaS), on-bill financing (OBF), dealer financing, leasing, energy service company (ESCO), and bulk procurement alleviate affordability of sustainable cooling technologies by either reducing prices or financing upfront costs. Through interactions with entrepreneurs and sustainable financing experts, the report spotlights key roadblocks and the ways for integrating these models in the Indian cooling sector.
