Position Description: This is an extraordinary opportunity to come in at the ground floor of a fast growing, ultra-high impact Cleantech startup. We at Blue Frontier are racing to solve arguably the biggest sustainability problem in the world using disruptive technology and business models. Air conditioning is the fastest growing use of electricity in the US and globally. If present trends continue, by 2050 air conditioning electricity consumption will be bigger than the combined electricity consumption of China and India today!Blue Frontiers AC system combines dew-point-style sensible cooling with liquid desiccant dehumidification to reduce electricity use by up to 90%. The desiccant is recharged and stored when electricity is the cleanest or lowest cost and later used to deliver cooling when electricity is dirty or costly. These features enable our system to solve an array of todays largest sustainability problems from the Duck Curve to peak load management, from humidity control to integration of intermittent renewable resources.
