Imaging if this technology could cool a data centre.

Yes, but the amount of gas in an AC system is insignifcant compared to the CO2 generated just making the AC system in the first place. Hell, delivering it probably generated significantly more pollution. Not saying we shouldn't strive to make it better, but it's not as actively harmful as it was 30+ years ago.
