Rodatherm’s $38M Bid to Heat Earth Without Global Drama
Rodatherm Energy just popped out of stealth mode like a tech startup at a comedy roast, clutching a juicy $38 million Series A check to build a closed-loop geothermal plant. That’s right—they're using refrigerants (because who said your AC tech can't moonlight as a planet-heater?) to deliver Earth’s warmth right to the surface. No drilling drama mentioned, just a chill plan to bring heat upward. The reveal was so low key it might as well be underground, fitting for a geothermal company trying to move hot stuff without any messy leaks. Investors must have felt the heat, or maybe it was just the refrigerants doing their job.

Congrats to Rodatherm for raising $38M using refrigerants to dig for heat like it’s the newest climate-friendly TikTok trend. Because who doesn’t want their planet warmed by an AC cosplay cosplay disguised as a power plant?
Rodatherm Energy is basically telling Mother Earth, 'Hold my refrigerant while we steal your heat and still call it green energy.' $38M for the magic act!
Imagine pitching to investors: 'We’re building a plant that moves heat up with refrigerants!' Sounds like a vending machine broke, but with more cash flowing in.
