The Karnot Energy Solutions team

The people behind cleaner energy

We're engineers, installers, and problem-solvers building natural refrigerant technology that cuts energy costs and protects the planet.

Our Mission

Replace the era of combustion and synthetic chemicals with natural refrigerant systems that deliver 75% energy savings — just as global regulations make our technology essential.

Stuart Cox

Stuart brings decades of hands-on experience designing and delivering natural refrigerant systems for the world's most demanding industries. His thermal fluid temperature control systems have become industry standards.

He previously founded Likido Ltd in Edinburgh, grew it to technical maturity, and successfully exited via acquisition to Dalrada Corporation (OTCQB: DFCO) in 2020. His systems were selected for technology assessment by the U.S. GSA and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

In 2023, Stuart moved to Pangasinan, Philippines, to build Karnot — bringing world-class heat pump technology to Southeast Asia's fastest-growing thermal energy market.
