Thalo Labs

We're thrilled to announce that Thalo Labs has been awarded a grant through the Columbia Lab-to-Market Accelerator Network program!  🌎 💡 It's an honor to be part of this incredible cohort of innovators driving advancements in negative emissions technologies. We're excited to accelerate our next generation capture platform, collaborate with the brilliant minds in this program, and contribute to scaling practical solutions for carbon reduction. A huge thank you to the Carbontech Development Initiative and NYSERDA for fostering a vibrant, pragmatic climate tech ecosystem right here in New York. Let’s keep building a sustainable future, together. 👉 Check out the full press release here:  https://lnkd.in/eCcuzZrb #ClimateTech #CarbonTech #Sustainability #Innovation #NYCStartup #ThaloLabs 

Managing the refrigerants that power HVAC systems like heat pumps and air conditioners makes business sense—cutting costs, preventing downtime, and protecting expensive building systems. And the environmental benefits? Huge. One kilogram of R-410A has nearly 5,000x the climate impact of CO2 over 20 years. Thalo Labs can now help facilities teams optimize almost all of the HVAC equipment that heats and cools our buildings.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of moderating a panel at the NYC CarbonTech Showcase, hosted by the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability and the The OpenAir Collective. Thank you to the nearly 100 attendees and over a dozen companies for joining our discussion on the critical role of carbon emission reduction, removal, storage, and utilization pathways in meeting New York's #netzero by 2050 goal! It was inspiring to see the vast #carbontech ecosystem in New York, comprised of new and old companies of all sectors, thriving due to a supportive policy landscape both at the city and state level! Thank you to Christopher Neidl for sharing your talent for organizing with the CDR community, both in New York and across the United States. Thank you to the team at the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability for co-organizing and for hosting this event on your beautiful Roosevelt Island campus! Thank you to the brilliant panelists for sharing insights from decades of experience in your fields: Giana Amador, Ben Furnas, Aidan Preston, Jeff Hansen, Greeshma G., Brendan Hermalyn, and Teresa Liu.

We a pleasure it was to host Brendan Hermalyn, CEO of Thalo Labs for Episode 105 of This Is CDR yesterday. You can view the recording of the session in full on OpenAir's Youtube channel. https://lnkd.in/d2QCxPGD

Join us tomorrow at 12pm EST for our conversation with Brendan Hermalyn, CEO of Thalo Labs ! https://lu.ma/cflvgg6r

Thalo Labs had a great time connecting with innovators, investors, and leaders driving sustainable tech in New York City at this morning's inaugural NYC Climate Tech Showcase, hosted by the Harbor Climate Collective. We were proud to showcase our Copilot platform and share our vision for tackling refrigerant emissions—a critical source of greenhouse gases. Thank you to everyone who visited London Clark and Mihir Juvvadi at our booth! 🌱 💡  #NYCClimateTechShowcase #ClimateTech #GreenEconomy #ThaloLabs

🎉 Exciting News for Thalo Labs! 🎉 We’re thrilled to share that we have been selected for one the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) $20 million voucher program, supporting innovative technologies to address critical energy and environmental challenges. With this support, we’ll be partnering with Grand Summit Group to validate our sensors for monitoring nitrous oxide (N₂O), methane (CH₄), and other greenhouse gas emission for industrial applications. A huge thank you to the DOE and all our partners for recognizing the potential of this technology to deliver scalable, cost-effective solutions that empower industries to meet decarbonization goals while improving operational efficiency. Let’s innovate for impact. 💡 🌎 #ClimateTech #Innovation #GHGMonitoring #Decarbonization #Sustainability #DOE #ThaloLabs

Did you know that 62% of A/C systems operate below spec due to incorrect refrigerant charge, while 70% of gas-burning appliances leak natural gas? These inefficiencies not only drive up costs but also contribute significantly to emissions. We had a great time chatting with Keely Anson from Shared Future Fund about how Thalo Labs is tackling these challenges head-on. 🌎 Check out the full blog post, where our CEO Brendan Hermalyn shares how our Copilot platform helps building operators move from reactive to preventive maintenance—reducing downtime, cutting emissions, and saving money across the built environment. ♻ 🏢 Link: https://lnkd.in/eVv-twhj  

We're excited to share our CEO & Founder Brendan Hermalyn's recent article with Propmodo! Our next-generation sensing & analysis platform brings the magic of real-time performance management to the HVAC equipment that heats and cools our buildings for the first time- and boy is everything leaking! https://lnkd.in/gn6mQp9W

I've been asked this week numerous times what the election results will mean for Thalo Labs. My best way of summarizing it was: surfing the financial, economic, carbon, and social waves in this industry is hard. It’s our job to figure out how to sell sustainability, whether we call it "climate tech" on Tuesday or "energy transition" on Wednesday.  I thought it might be useful to make our note to our internal team and investors on the election results public. _____________________________ Thalonians and friends thereof: I don't think of Thalo as a political company, but there are some practical realities around how administrations can affect, both positively and negatively, the decarbonization of our society. Climate change and the energy transition are more politically loaded than ever and it is likely this shift will negatively impact the velocity of humanity's path to net negative carbon emissions. It's 77°F out right now in NYC- on November 6th. So what is a young enterprising climate startup to do? First, we must continue to anchor on the reality of the energy transition. It's not a question of “if,” but it is a question of “when and how painful.” How does it go faster? Money, capitalism, and regulation. The IRA/Chips/etc., incentives kicked the ball down the hill but really were only the tip of the megatrend iceberg.  Remember, incentives and tax breaks exist for petrochemical extraction and mining (~$649b/year according to IMF) which means we're already monkeying with the free market...it's just the direction of that monkeying that we should be looking at.  Regardless, the end point is unchanged. The other thing to remember is that, brass tacks, businesses are defined as entities that make more money than they spend. The way we can achieve our ultimate mission of emissions reductions, independent of political party in charge, is to make excellent products and solutions that customers want to buy and use- all while saving emissions.  The externality of the capital "P" Problem of "there's too much GHG entering and staying in the atmosphere" must be converted into actionable pain points for customers to have commercial traction. Would it be easier if someone randomly paid us carbon credits to do this? Or regulation was passed for exactly our emissions monitoring? Of course. They are likely still coming. But our north star has been obvious for a bit: we can sigh at having to do it the hard way - once- then get back to work making delightful products people and companies need and want. The sustainability companies that come out of this period will be incredibly strong - because they'll have to be. I am confident Thalo will be one of them and we will look back with pride when we get to the next phase. Onward, -Brendan
