A Global Stage for Climate Innovation
Last week, during London’s Climate Action Week, the city hosted the 2024 Breakthrough Energy Summit, a landmark event that gathered global innovators, investors, and leaders working on technologies to drive sustainability, decarbonization, and energy efficiency.
Aeroseal’s participation at the summit was a defining moment — showcasing our proven air-sealing technology and reinforcing our role as a trusted solution for reducing energy waste in buildings. With growing recognition from both industry leaders and the media, Aeroseal stood out as a climate technology making real-world impact.
A High-Profile Presence
Aeroseal CEO Amit Gupta joined Bill Gates, Founder of Breakthrough Energy, and Amit Kumar of ZeroAvia for a Sky News interview. During the discussion, Gupta highlighted the enormous challenge of wasted energy in buildings:
“Buildings use lots of energy, and 50% of the energy going into the buildings is used for heating and cooling. And 50% of that is wasted because of building leaks. We are fixing that.”
Another highlight was CNN’s Bill Weir interviewing Gupta at the Aeroseal booth alongside Bill Gates. The segment, which showcased Aeroseal’s technology in action, will be featured in a larger upcoming documentary.
Recognition from Industry Leaders
At the summit, Bill Gates once again recognized Aeroseal as a leading climate technology. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Gates praised Aeroseal’s innovative approach to sealing heating and cooling systems — a solution already deployed in hundreds of thousands of homes and commercial buildings worldwide.
This recognition emphasizes Aeroseal’s growing role in reducing energy waste, cutting costs, and lowering carbon emissions — proving that scalable, cost-effective solutions exist today to address global sustainability goals.
Looking Ahead
The Breakthrough Energy Summit was not just about recognition — it was about building momentum for the future. Aeroseal engaged in discussions with global partners and stakeholders to explore new collaborations and projects aimed at accelerating the world’s transition to net-zero buildings.
As highlighted in The Gates Notes ahead of the summit, Aeroseal’s technology aligns perfectly with the global mission of reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency. The fact that our solution is commercially developed, cost-effective, and readily available makes it a cornerstone technology for transforming the built environment.
Building a Sustainable Future Together
Aeroseal’s participation at the 2024 Breakthrough Energy Summit highlights a simple but powerful truth: sealing air leaks in buildings is one of the fastest and most impactful ways to save energy and cut emissions today.
By combining innovation, proven results, and strong partnerships, Aeroseal continues to play a vital role in shaping a cleaner, more efficient, and more sustainable world.
