What Enerin does
Enerin AS is a Norwegian industrial heat pump company founded in 2017 that develops and commercializes the HoegTemp high-temperature heat pump, a reverse Stirling-cycle system using helium as working fluid capable of delivering heat up to 250°C in a single temperature lift. The technology is targeted at the 100-200°C industrial process heat segment - steam generation, distillation, drying, and chemical recovery - where conventional heat pumps cannot reach required temperatures and where industrial users remain dependent on fossil-fuel boilers responsible for a significant share of global CO2 emissions. Enerin packages its core heat pump with the Thermonitor monitoring tool and VacCat feedwater system as an integrated decarbonization offering.
The company's business model is direct enterprise sales of capital equipment (400 kW to 1.2 MW modular units) combined with installation, commissioning, and recurring maintenance services, with project-specific quote-based pricing. Customers to date are large industrial anchors across pharmaceuticals (Roche, GE Healthcare), biogas and wastewater (IVAR), and food processing (Pelagia, Slakteriet, Cargill), reached through a field-sales motion involving technical assessments, pilot projects, and reference-site demonstrations. Revenue is at an early commercial inflection point, anchored by a first commercial contract with Roche for a 1.2 MW installation in Basel and supported by three operating pilots that have accumulated over 17,520 validated operating hours. Strategic validation comes from an oversubscribed €15M Series A (November 2025) led by Climentum Capital, The Footprint Firm, Johnson Controls, and Move Energy, with €6M+ in prior public R&D grants from Horizon Europe, Innovation Norway, and others. The company is expanding geographically from Norway into Switzerland and the US (UL certification targeted June 2026) and is building a broader thermal-energy platform through European research projects in thermal storage and drying.
