Our take
Buildings account for 34% of global CO₂ emissions, and in the UK alone, £3.8 billion is lost each year through energy-inefficient homes. Project Heat is developing systems to rapidly and efficiently decarbonise buildings at scale and accelerate the transition toward a sustainable future.
Having only recently emerged from stealth, Project Heat is already uncovering major opportunities starting in the UK. This is just the beginning for the young, ambitious startup.
