Are you referring to HVAC cooling (refrigerators, heat pumps, etc.), or reactor cooling (cooling tower, etc.)? Neither has any intrinsic carbon emissions though. HVAC needs electricity[0], but has no emissions other than incidental CFC release[1]. Nuclear / industrial equipment cooling typically needs water, but doesn't release any carbon.
