OUR TEAM

Inventor and co-founder, dipl. engineer Søren Abildgaard: Energy transition has always been key of my work. Since 1995 I have worked with the development and design of energy conversion products including PV and solar heaters at VELUX, cooking stoves for saving firewood in Namibia (SW-Africa) and micro-CHP systems for the production of heat and power at EC Power.

I am always looking for ways to use new technology to cater for our needs in the most energy efficient manner. We cannot solve the energy problems with the technologies that created them, and therefore it is really great, that we have so many new technologies that are much more efficient, and much more controllable than traditional industrial technologies. Infrared LED offers a superior solution for a brand new paradigm of comfort heating, and that is what I am want to utlize.

Co-founder, M Econ. Michael Hyldgaard: 20 + years’ experience from international manufacturing companies with focus on accounting and sales. 3 years as the CFO of Carnitech Inc, Seattle  USA
