Climate tech startups are revolutionising the fight against climate change by deploying advanced technologies across sectors such as renewable energy, carbon capture, sustainable agriculture, and waste management. Integrating electricity, heat, and cooling into a seamless, closed-loop system mirrors the cyclical processes of nature, and Hyderabad based TRIGEN Decarbonisation stands at the forefront of this innovation. This high-efficiency energy solutions company is incubated in IIT-M and is backed by India’s first decarbonisation-focused venture studio INDUS DC.

Today, TRIGEN Decarbonisation has deployed over 20 MW of energy solutions to date, and is already producing groundbreaking products at their manufacturing facilities in Hyderabad & Chennai which drastically aim to reduce CO2 emissions by reducing fuel consumption up to 90 percent, ensuring a sustainable and healthier future.

TRIGEN Decarbonisation's Innovative Energy Solutions
TRIGEN Decarbonisation has got its own in-house R&D facilities supported by research at IIT-M, enabling it to become a leader in providing cutting-edge energy solutions in India, offering innovative products such as heat pumps that provide heat as high as 135°C. Another breakthrough solution is their ultra-low ambient heat pump, which operates efficiently even at temperatures as low as -35°C, as demonstrated by their successful installation and operation in the difficult terrain of Leh & Ladakh. TRIGEN Decarbonisation has also developed combined heating and cooling solutions tailored to AI data centers, offering a COP (Coefficient of Performance) close to 10, unheard of in the cooling industry.

Additionally, the company is also focused on enhancing cooling efficiency by up to 30 percent, with plans to reach 50 percent improvements.

“Currently, we are number one in the industry in our product ranges, and with ongoing research and development, we plan to stay at the forefront. In the next six to eight months, we will launch a 160°C heat pump, and within a year, we aim to achieve a 200°C heat pump, positioning ourselves alongside global trailblazers. Our solutions not only drive technological advancement but also have significant environmental and social impacts.

For instance, a 5-kW system can reduce approximately 30 tons of CO2 annually. With large-scale deployments, we are poised to cut tens of thousands of tons of CO2 emissions”, says Ashish Sethi, Co-Founder & CEO, TRIGEN Decarbonisation. He shares that the pharmaceutical, beverage, electronics industries and many such industries would benefit from using their heat pumps by saving up to 60 percent on electricity and fuel bills, not only meeting their heating requirements, but also cutting down on their cooling requirements by utilising the cooling delivered by the same heat pump, essentially hitting two birds with one stone.

TRIGEN Decarbonisation is driving the Industrial Decarbonisation most efficiently not only by reducing CO2 emissions but also reducing fuel bills massively with their advanced, environmentally responsible heat pump solutions

Heat Pump Standardisation
The company is actively pursuing research and development, staying ahead of market trends, and driving the narrative on heat pump integration within India’s industrial landscape. TRIGEN Decarbonisation, being an industry leader, is actively collaborating with government bodies and organisations like the BEE and ISHRAE to establish clear guidelines and standards for heat pump usage and deployment. The goal is to create a standardised and competitive market. By focusing on both very high and ultra-low temperature ranges, these efforts aim to ensure that the heat pump industry adheres to standards that promote safety, energy, efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.

TRIGEN Decarbonisation is focused on expanding its global presence, actively working with potential partners and customers to extend our reach beyond India. “We are exploring opportunities in the Middle East, North America, and Europe, targeting regions where our innovative heat pump solutions can make a significant impact. By collaborating with suitable partners and customers in these geographies and forging strategic alliances, we aim to enhance our global footprint and meet the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions and maintain our leadership in the global climate space”, concludes Ashish Sethi.
