Hello Tomorrow, the flagship event for French deep tech, wrapped up last week. But already, back in 2016, the Expo was making Franck Lahaye, the co-founder of Airthium, quite driven. It was then that he met Andrei Klochko, a young researcher from the École Polytechnique who was doing a PhD in plasma physics.  Together, the entrepreneurs developed an engine that acts like a heat pump, capable of converting electricity into high-temperature heat (from 150 to 550 degrees) in the form of steam or hot air. This kind of boiler allows for the decarbonisation of heat produced during industrial processes, which … Continue reading Airthium’s Quest for 250 Degrees in Decarbonised Industrial Heat Pumps
