Bedrock Energy Raises $8.5M to Decarbonize CRE
Bedrock Energy, a tech startup that designs, constructs, and delivers geothermal heating and cooling systems, announced $8.5 million in seed capital led by Wireframe Ventures, with participation from Overture Climate VC, and Long Journey Ventures, among others.
The funding will be used to accelerate manufacturing and deployment of technologies that improve the economics of all-electric geothermal HVAC systems, helping real estate properties achieve net zero operations.
Bedrock Energy is developing a technology stack that combines autonomous drilling and advanced subsurface modeling. The approach triples the speed and space-efficiency of geothermal projects, according to the company, making it possible to install geothermal HVAC systems in dense, urban locations.
The technology includes sensors that validate real-time construction accuracy, allowing real estate properties to decarbonize with double-digit internal rates of return and payback periods of under five years.
“A huge swath of commercial and industrial real estate can now benefit economically from carbon-free geothermal HVAC due to Bedrock’s unparalleled speed, cost, compactness, and reliability—making adoption a logical business and sustainability decision,” said Joselyn Lai, co-founder and CEO of Bedrock Energy.
