CEO-Founder | JP Clima Tec | Denmark

Mr. Jesper Pedersen is an innovator focused on advancing climate-cooling technologies through engineered atmospheric humidification and adiabatic cooling systems designed to counteract the planet’s rising radiative forcing. His research centers on developing and optimizing large-scale water-mist evaporator units capable of generating low-altitude fog to increase Earth’s albedo and achieve measurable temperature reductions. Drawing from principles of atmospheric physics, thermodynamics, and hydrological cycling, his work demonstrates how controlled humidification—via modified fog-cannon evaporators mounted on wind turbines—can convert latent heat of vaporization into a cooling mechanism that lowers ambient temperatures while enhancing radiative heat loss to space. His computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, Mollier-diagram analyses, and field experiments explore the relationship between relative humidity, dew point, wet-bulb temperature, and cloud-formation height to validate the cooling efficiency of water-evaporative systems. Pedersen’s research further investigates the potential of large-scale deployment, projecting that covering approximately 1% of Earth’s surface with engineered low-altitude fog could offset the current global warming rate of 3.5 W/m². He also evaluates environmental impacts, infrastructure requirements, and the comparative sustainability of this solar radiation modification (SRM) concept relative to other geoengineering approaches such as marine cloud brightening. His patented evaporator-cannon design incorporates wide-angle fog dispersion, wind-aligned turbine integration, and rainwater-based supply systems aimed at enabling scalable atmospheric cooling in diverse climatic zones, including Arctic, tropical, and temperate regions. Through ongoing research collaborations, experimental testing, and prototype development, his work contributes to emerging solutions for global temperature stabilization, forest-fire prevention, reforestation support, and mitigation of climate-driven ecological tipping points.
