This video discusses so-called "solid state" cooling systems, which are more accurately called "caloric cooling systems" (electrocaloric systems). The premise is that electrocaloric systems can cool controlled environments without using refrigerants.
This is important because refrigerants, which are mostly HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons), are extremely harmful to the environment and contribute significantly to global warming and climate change.
The technology is in development, but not brand-new. The concepts behind it are well-understood. The process has been demonstrated to work efficiently, albeit not in a complete environment. It seems like with a bit more research and development, real-world prototypes could easily be developed.
