Mojave Raises $19M for Efficient Commercial Cooling

Mojave Energy Systems has raised $19M to scale an alternative approach to commercial cooling and humidity control.

What happened

The company’s ArctiDry platform uses liquid-desiccant technology to manage humidity and temperature independently.

The new Series B will support commercial expansion and further deployment of the system across energy-intensive buildings.

Why it matters

Cooling represents a large and growing share of electricity demand, especially as climates warm and buildings become more densely equipped with electronics.

Traditional HVAC systems often waste energy by overcooling air to remove moisture. Separating humidity control from temperature management can improve efficiency.

The bigger picture

Climate technology is increasingly focused on efficiency in existing infrastructure rather than only new energy generation. Heating and cooling are enormous markets where incremental efficiency gains can translate into meaningful reductions in electricity demand.
