Episode notes
Productizing Steam Decarbonization
- AtmosZero focuses on making steam decarbonization a product, not bespoke projects, to unlock scale and cost reductions.
- Standardizing a modular electrified steam boiler lets manufacturers avoid complex waste-heat integration and speed deployments.
Match Existing Boiler Specs
- Design equipment to match existing boiler installation practices to minimize facility integration and downtime.
- Prioritize landed capital reduction (capex plus installation and downtime) to win industrial customers.
First Commercial Deployment At Brewery
- AtmosZero deployed its first commercial unit at New Belgium Brewery to replace one-third of steam demand.
- The unit landed in hours and integrated with zero downtime while delivering critical process steam.
