Revolutionising Industrial Heat with Dolf Joekes from AtmosZero

In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Dolf Joekes, Managing Director of AtmosZero Europe, about their mission to decarbonize industrial steam production.

Industrial steam generation accounts for over 2 gigatons of CO₂ emissions annually, making it one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. AtmosZero is tackling this challenge with Boiler 2.0, an innovative air-to-steam heat pump that eliminates the need for gas-fired boilers, dramatically improving efficiency and reducing carbon footprints for manufacturers worldwide.

Key topics include:

• How 50 percent of all industrial process heat is steam—and why decarbonizing it is critical.
• The advantages of AtmosZero’s air-to-steam heat pump over traditional waste-heat-based systems.
• How industrial heat pumps can achieve more than double the efficiency of conventional gas boilers.
• Challenges in heat pump adoption, including capital costs, education, and policy barriers.
• The first pilot project with New Belgium Brewing and expansion plans into Europe.

Listen as Dolf shares how AtmosZero is scaling its technology, driving industrial electrification, and leading the next wave of decarbonization.

Thanks again, Dolf!
