Sunscreen
Cooling crops and cities with mist that reflects sunlight
Sunscreen is developing a novel atmospheric based proprietary technology to provide local cooling for farms, data centers, and cities. In collaboration with Stanford and UCLA, Sunscreen yields a 10:1 financial savings from heat damages using this innovative approach. Sunscreen has already completed a simulation finding the generalized impact of our solution on some key cities and has found cooling in lab settings.
