Air conditioner: As the summer is increasing, the demand for coolers, freeze, aircraft has also started increasing. In view of this, companies are also offering all kinds of offers, schemes to increase their cell. People are also getting AC installed in their homes to get some relief from scorching sun and heat. As a result of this, a record 14 million air conditioning units were sold in India last year.
Temperature is increasing from AC
Now it is obvious that as the demand for AC increases, the demand for electricity will also increase and still most of the electricity is produced by burning coal, which affects the climate.
In addition, poisonous gases emanating from the AC to the ozone layer, which damages the ozone layer like chlorophorocarbon (CFC) and Hydrochlorophylorocarbon (HCFC), cause global warming and increasing global warming.
However, before thinking so far, they are giving more attention to the immediate relief and as a result of this, the market is being sold in the market. India is the fastest growing air conditioning market in the world due to rising heat and demand, despite this, only seven percent houses have air conditioning units at present.
Increase India power generation
Experts believe that this boom means that the world’s most populous country will have to increase its production three times to meet the increasing power demand.
According to a government statement, the country of 1.4 billion people is at number three in the world in terms of emissions of Greenhouse gas, which increases the temperature of the Earth. One billion tonnes of coal were burnt in electricity generation in 2024-25 from above.
People’s deaths occur due to heat wave
According to the AFP report, K.J. Java said, “In today’s time, AC is no longer limited to luxury, but it has become necessary for good sleep at night, which is necessary for better physical and mental health.”
According to the Meteorological Department, 2024 was the hottest year in India since 1901. In May 2024 in New Delhi, the temperature reached a record high level of 49.2 degrees Celsius (120.5 ° F), just like 2022 due to heatwave. Between 2012 and 2021, about 11,000 people have died of heatstroke in India.
According to the United Nations Environmental Program Cool Coalition, by the year 2050, air conditioning will be a quarter of India’s emission and about half of the maximum demand for electricity across the country. However, the situation is also likely to improve as energy saving inverters are making more and more space in the AC market and companies also set a 24 ° C default temperature while selling units.
