JBL Technologies Ltd · UK · Founded 2026

A green industrial revolution, quietly under way.

We're building the technologies that let heavy industry decarbonise without compromise — safer, cleaner, and capable of the work the world still needs done. High-pressure process steam, at zero carbon. Clearer skies, by design.

§ 01The problem
Yesterday

The fossil age is over.

The world we inherited

For two centuries, industry has run on combustion — and the bill has come due in the air, the climate, and the cities downwind.

  • Heavy industry still burns to make heat
  • Industrial steam is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise
  • Refrigeration leaks gases 1000s× worse than CO₂
  • The cleanest refrigerants, kept out of cities by safety
  • Half‑measures: offsets, capture, sequestration
  • Pledges out‑running the hardware that delivers them
§ 02The solution
Tomorrow

A green industrial revolution, quietly under way.

What others offer

Capture it. Offset it. Bury it.

  • Carbon capture & storage
  • Voluntary offset markets
  • Biomass, blended fuels, hydrogen pilots
  • Treats the symptom, not the source
What we build

True decarbonisation. No carbon. No compromise.

  • Zero-carbon industrial heat
  • The cleanest refrigerants, safely, anywhere
  • Inherent safety as a design property
  • Drop‑in form factors for existing plant
Today

Two devices. One principle: make the cleaner choice the obvious one. Speak to us — the work begins now.

§ 03What we're building

Two technologies, one direction — industry that gives the air back.

Enablement

Making the cleaner choice the obvious one.

Across heavy industry, the most efficient, most sustainable solutions are too often left on the bench in favour of safer‑seeming defaults. We build the safety architecture that removes that compromise — so the greener path becomes the default path.

Decarbonisation

Steam without carbon.

Industrial process heat is one of the largest, hardest‑to‑abate slices of global emissions — and most of it is still delivered by fossil boilers. We're developing a platform that produces high-pressure process steam at zero carbon, inherently safe by design, built for the industries that have so far had nowhere else to turn.

James B. Lofthouse

Founder · Design Engineer · Sole director

Design engineer. Started as a car mechanic, then a decade on the tools and project‑managing builds, ten years running his own engineering practice, and time inside utilities delivering sustainable heat & cooling at scale.

All UK practice — design, install, project management and commissioning across some of the country's largest and most complex heat pump systems, district heating & cooling networks and low‑carbon energy centres. The patent specifications JBLT is built around come directly from that work — and from the two specific problems that career kept hitting.
