#188 Decarbonizing Steam, Drop-In Replacement, Building in Stealth, & More w/ Ashwin Salvi (AtmosZero)

Jul 4, 2024
58:01

Ashwin Salvi is the Co-Founder and COO of AtmosZero. They create electrified boilers to replace traditional fossil-fuel-burning boilers in industrial settings.

Steam touches a huge amount of products that we, as consumers, use every day, and AtmosZero is helping decarbonize that. 

Today, Ashwin shares his story, and we discuss:

  • How they solved the cost issue by making a drop-in replacement 
  • How they built their pilot at the same scale as their commercial unit 
  • The tradeoffs of building in stealth
  • How they are building to win even without subsidies 

And much more.

Enjoy the episode!
