Jeff St. John of Canary Media reports on AtmosZero and its mission to clean up manufacturing.
- Gas-powered boilers which produce steam for industrial processes are responsible for responsible for an estimated 7 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
- AtmosZero is looking to address this challenge by producing electric heat pump boilers for industrial uses.
- In its first project, AtmosZero is installing a 650 kilowatt boiler in the headquarters of New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins, Colorado.
- Private sector innovation is driving cleantech progress.
“Typical residential heat-pump systems deliver about 300 to 400 percent as much energy in the form of heat as the energy they use to transfer it. AtmosZero’s heat-pump boilers can practically deliver about 200 percent of the same energy input as heat, he said. But that’s still about two and a half times more efficient than the energy conversion efficiency of burning fossil gas or using electric resistance systems to boil water, he noted.”
