Airthium
Decarbonize Process Heat, Profitably.
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.
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.
