About
Airthium develops a high-temperature industrial heat pump capable of reaching 550°C, delivered in plug-and-play shipping containers that integrate with existing gas boiler infrastructure. The system automatically switches between electricity and gas in real-time based on price, carbon intensity, and grid signals to minimize cost and emissions. The company targets industrial facilities requiring process heat in the 150–550°C range, a segment largely still dependent on fossil fuels.
Problem
90% of industrial process heat still comes from fossil fuels because existing heat pumps are limited to 120–150°C and cannot economically compete with gas boilers.
For
industrial facility operators and energy managers needing process heat decarbonization
How it works
Airthium's containerized heat pump reaches up to 550°C and connects to existing steam lines, automatically switching between cheap clean electricity and gas based on real-time price, carbon, and grid signals.
