Cascara Energy is a disruptive innovator in the district energy industry, specializing in next-generation, low-carbon solutions for the heating and cooling of buildings. The company is dedicated to modernizing legacy district energy infrastructure, addressing the critical need for decarbonized climate control amidst rising global temperatures and energy demands. By focusing on efficiency and sustainability, Cascara aims to significantly reduce operational costs and environmental impact across various sectors.

At the core of Cascara Energy's offering is its advanced R744 Thermal Network and Reservoir solution, representing a 5th Generation District Heating and Cooling (5GDHC) system. This innovative technology utilizes CO2 (R744) as a unique heat transfer medium, enabling a modular and scalable approach to thermal energy management. The system capitalizes on R744's chemically unique properties, allowing for exceptionally high heat transfer capacity through latent heat phase changes. This results in significantly smaller infrastructure, with pipes 1/12th the size of legacy systems, which translates to reduced capital expenditures and simpler installation, particularly in high-density urban environments. Furthermore, Cascara's solution excels in waste heat recycling, dramatically increasing efficiency and capturing low-grade heat.

Cascara Energy's solutions are tailored to decarbonize a diverse range of sectors. For existing district energy systems, they provide crucial modernization. Their R744 Thermal Reservoir can reduce GHG emissions by up to 70% in apartment buildings. Hotels and resorts benefit from an inexpensive solution meeting high demands for guest comfort. Data centers can achieve efficient cooling while simultaneously upgrading and transferring captured energy to nearby buildings, eliminating costs and emissions for both parties. The company also facilitates industrial ties, connecting heat sources to facilities in need, and innovatively harvests low-grade ambient heat from subway stations for use in adjacent buildings, thereby cooling platforms and decarbonizing nearby offices and residences.
