PATRIZIA, Mitsui partner with Kaer to expand cooling as a service business
By 2028, Kaer aims to deliver low-carbon cooling to 100 million square feet of commercial space.
PATRIZIA and Mitsui have partnered with Kaer through the APAC Sustainable Infrastructure Fund (A-SIF) to expand the latter’s Cooling as a Service (CaaS) across Asia, with a commitment of up to $456.9m (USD350m) worth of investment.
Kaer enables businesses to transition to low-carbon cooling to serve their operations whilst reducing capital expenditure.
With 30% growth in 2024 and a further 50% growth projected from existing contracts in 2025, the partnership will allow Kaer to scale its operations whilst further developing technology and data analytics.
By 2028, Kaer aims to deliver low-carbon cooling to 100 million square feet of commercial real estate, eliminating approximately 120 million kilograms of carbon emissions in Asia.
“This fourth investment for A-SIF marks a strategic expansion into Cooling as a Service infrastructure,” Saji Anantakrishnan, Head of Infrastructure for Australia and Asia at PATRIZIA, said.
