Arkeon Energy Systems launches the SmartPac heat pump

There is an urgent need to accelerate the decarbonization of buildings, responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions. 93% of buildings in France must change their heating system – including more than 12 million homes equipped with gas boilers.

After 3 years of R&D, the startup Arkeon Energy Systems raises €5.5M, including €2.1M invested by Team for the Planet, the investor with 115.042 shareholders.

This funding round allows the company to offer a zero-emission heating and cooling solution for collective and tertiary residential buildings.

This innovation contributes to the growth of alternative industrial sectors to gas or oil boilers, supported by the French government. Its commitment to the decarbonization of collective buildings has earned it the support of Team for the Planet, citizen investor serving the climate emergency. Arkeon Energy Systems technology was selected from more than 1000 innovations.

Arkeon Energy Systems provides a solution to the need to replace oil and gas boilers

Arkeon Energy Systems is tackling the Achilles heel of French cities! It provides owners of collective and tertiary residential buildings with an innovative heat pump type system, which produces heating, domestic hot water and air conditioning.

Philippe Chauvin, co-founder and CEO of Arkeon Energy Systems: Until now, heat pumps had difficulty penetrating the market for the renovation of collective heating systems because they did not offer the guarantees necessary for their adoption as a replacement for a boiler: reliability, performance and autonomy throughout. throughout the year, including during periods of heatwave or extreme cold. The SmartPAC achieves this thanks to several technological innovations, the most visible of which is the use of a thermal bearing.

Support from a leading investor: Team for the Planet

Arkeon Energy Systems recently closed a €5.5M fundraising round, including €2.1M invested by Team for the Planet. This funding will make it possible to move into the massification phase of SmartPAC production and to add innovative intelligent regulation using new digital building blocks (data science, IoT, AI).

2024 objective: exceed 70% energy savings by replacing your heating system.

For Arthur Auboeuf, co-founder of Team for the Planet: « Team for the Planet is a structure designed from A to Z to create champions of decarbonization. To fight climate change, we need major innovations to structurally decarbonize the economy. Arkeon Energy Systems is one of these innovations. We are proud to welcome them among the six innovations supported and funded to date. The energy transition is an imperative, for which Arkeon Energy Systems and Team for the Planet are joining forces to accelerate the move to scale, in France and then abroad. »

CA’IN, the bottom Crédit Agricole Invests in Normandy, also contributed to fundraising.
