Geothermal Startup Bedrock Energy Secures $12M to Revolutionize Carbon-Free HVAC for Buildings
In a groundbreaking move for the geothermal energy sector, Bedrock Energy, a Texas-based geothermal technology startup, has successfully raised $12 million in a Series A funding round. The funds aim to accelerate the development and deployment of their innovative, carbon-free heating and cooling solutions for buildings. With the increasing urgency to combat climate change, Bedrock Energy technology is set to play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from buildings—a sector responsible for 15% of global carbon emissions.
A Game-Changer for Urban Geothermal Systems
Founded in 2022, Bedrock Energy has positioned itself as a pioneer in geothermal HVAC systems. Their cutting-edge technology integrates autonomous drilling with advanced subsurface modeling, significantly reducing the time and space required for geothermal installations. This innovation makes geothermal HVAC viable even in dense urban areas, enabling real estate developers and owners to achieve substantial energy savings and environmental benefits.
The versatility of Bedrock's systems, ranging from single-building applications to district-wide solutions, allows for 24/7 carbon-free energy delivery. Beyond reducing GHG emissions, the company claims their geothermal systems can slash energy bills in half and reduce air pollutants by 90%, making them a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional HVAC systems.
Scaling Across the Mountain West States
Bedrock Energy plans to utilize the new funding to expand customer deployments and advance its research and development efforts. In 2025, the company aims to deploy its geothermal systems across Colorado, Utah, and other Mountain West states, demonstrating the scalability and efficiency of its solutions.
Investor Confidence in Geothermal Potential
The funding round was led by Titanium Ventures, with participation from notable investors such as Energy Impact Partners, Sustainable Future Ventures, and existing supporters like Wireframe Ventures and Overture Ventures. Mark Sherman, Managing Partner at Titanium Ventures, emphasized the transformative potential of Bedrock’s technology, stating:
"Geothermal energy has incredible promise as an always-on, 24/7 carbon-free source of power, heating, and cooling. We believe Bedrock Energy’s integrated technologies will dramatically expand the market for cost-efficient geothermal HVAC systems and reshape the economics of this industry."
Why This Matters
Heating and cooling represent the largest energy expense in real estate, accounting for 35% of buildings' carbon emissions. Bedrock Energy’s innovations address this challenge head-on by offering a sustainable solution that not only reduces costs but also enhances resilience and environmental performance.
As the world transitions toward a low-carbon future, technologies like Bedrock Energy’s geothermal HVAC systems will be essential in decarbonizing the building sector and achieving global climate goals.
