Next-Generation Decarbonization Solutions Across New York

2Hudson Launches Hudson Clean Heat to Deliver Next-Generation Decarbonization Solutions Across New York

Sleepy Hollow, NY – July 1, 2026

2Hudson, a leader in environmental comfort and heating solutions, today announced the official launch of Hudson Clean Heat, a new operating company focused on delivering advanced electrification and decarbonization solutions for buildings across the New York City metropolitan area. The launch represents an expansion of the capabilities that have defined the 100% employee-owned 2Hudson family of companies for over 60 years. With the addition of Hudson Clean Heat, 2Hudson is committed to helping customers navigate the transition                                                                                                                                                                 toward a lower-carbon future.

“Hudson Clean Heat is a natural extension of our long-term vision,” said Jaime Tetrault, President and CEO of 2Hudson. “We are witnessing a fundamental and sustainability-focused shift in how buildings are designed, operated, and heated. Our role is to provide the leadership, innovation, and practical solutions that allow our customers to successfully adapt to that change.”

 

Inspired by Exploration, Built for the Future 

The name Hudson Clean Heat was chosen with deliberate meaning, connecting the company’s heritage and its forward-looking mission. 

“Hudson” reflects the broader 2Hudson platform while drawing inspiration from Henry Hudson, whose exploration of New York Harbor and the Hudson River became a defining moment in the region’s history. That journey symbolized discovery, movement, and the opening of new possibilities. 

“Today, New York is entering a new era of exploration, not geographic, but technological and environmental. As the city leads in building decarbonization initiatives and regulatory transformation, Hudson Clean Heat was created to operate at the forefront of this new frontier,” said Tetrault.  

“Clean Heat” clearly defines the company’s purpose: delivering thermal solutions that reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and support a more sustainable energy future. 

 

A Company Born from Market Insight 

Hudson Clean Heat originated from a clear and growing market need. 

“This company started as an idea grounded in what we were seeing every day,” said Ian Rowburrey, Chief Commercial Officer of 2Hudson. “Customers are navigating a complex and rapidly changing energy landscape. They don’t need abstract concepts; they need real solutions. Hudson Clean Heat is the result of building a company specifically designed to meet that need.” 

Rowburrey continued, “It’s something we’ve built intentionally from the ground up; a focused platform that brings together technology, engineering, and strategy in a way that delivers results.” 

 

Built on Relationships and Market Leadership 

The company’s early success has been driven by strong industry relationships and a deep understanding of customer challenges. 

“We’ve worked closely with building owners, engineers, and partners to understand how decarbonization actually happens in practice,” said Julia Cyr, Sustainability Business Development. “That foundation has allowed us to build trust in the market and position Hudson Clean Heat as a partner that can not only advise but help execute.” 

“Our focus has been on turning complex requirements into clear, actionable pathways,” Cyr added. “We have the history and knowledge of the heating systems that are foundational in the city. We feel uniquely qualified to transition legacy buildings into hybrid systems that outperform existing equipment. That’s what customers are really looking for.” 

 

Engineering Solutions for the NYC Landscape 

Hudson Clean Heat has been built around technical and economically viable execution, ensuring that decarbonization strategies translate into reliable system performance. 

“Decarbonization isn’t just about replacing existing technology – it’s about improving the existing built environment with as little waste as possible,” said Ian Motley, President of Hudson Clean Heat. 

“Our approach is based on employing the same efficiency we aim for in our systems in every step of the process. From assessment, engineering, and design, to install, startup, and operation, the goal is to provide maximum benefits with minimum disruption that deliver measurable increased performance while maintaining reliability.” 

Motley continued, “We combine the latest technologies with feasible solutions that reflect how buildings operate. That’s what enables our customers to move forward with confidence.” 

 

A Solutions-Driven Approach to Decarbonization 

Hudson Clean Heat operates as a solutions company rather than a single-technology provider. The company recognizes that carbon reduction often requires a hybrid approach that blends multiple systems and strategies and makes economic sense.  

This includes electrified heating and heat pump solutions, heat recovery and thermal optimization, hybrid system integration with existing infrastructure, engineering, equipment supply, service support, and more.  

As a new vertical under the broader 2Hudson Holding platform, which is home to the engineering depth and boiler expertise of Miller Proctor Nickolas, Inc. and the temporary heat and hot water solutions of Mobile Steam Boiler Rental Corp., Hudson Clean Heat provides customers with comprehensive, end-to-end support as they pursue decarbonization. 

 

The Meaning Behind the Brand and Visual Identity 

Hudson Clean Heat’s brand identity was designed to reflect both connection and differentiation within the 2Hudson family. 

The logo incorporates a blend of colors, each representing a critical component of modern energy systems: 

  • Red symbolizes heat, energy, and the legacy thermal systems central to the industry 
  • Blue represents technology, water, and the integration of heating and cooling systems 
  • Green reflects sustainability, decarbonization, and forward progress 

Together, these colors communicate that there is no single solution to decarbonization. Real-world results require a coordinated, hybrid approach. 

The blended design signals that Hudson Clean Heat delivers integrated solutions; bringing together engineering expertise, operational capability, and sustainability-focused innovation under the unified 2Hudson platform. 

 

Positioned for the Future of Clean Energy 

Hudson Clean Heat has been established to help lead the transition to sustainable heating and cooling by balancing real-world performance with operational reliability. 

“Hudson Clean Heat represents progress,” Tetrault added. “It’s about continuing to explore, innovate, and deliver solutions that meet the next generation of energy challenges.” 

The launch marks a significant milestone for 2Hudson as it continues to expand its role as a leader in environmental comfort and sustainable energy solutions.

Miller Proctor Nickolas, Inc (MPN) Wins The Empire Technology Prize New York 2025

[Sleepy Hollow, NY] – [September 19th, 2025]

Miller Proctor Nickolas, Inc (MPN) Wins The Empire Technology Prize; Launches New Venture to Accelerate Decarbonized Heating Solutions Adoption

Miller Proctor Nickolas, Inc. (MPN), a recognized employee-owned company and leading heating solutions and service provider in the New York City Metro Area, wins a one-of-a-kind competition for the future of heating in New York called The Empire Technology Prize for their water source heat pump steam & hydronic generating system featuring Oilon ChillHeat units.

MPN was selected as the winner against six competitors including five other heat pump providers. The competition focused on solution’s ability to decarbonize tall buildings in New York City with economically feasible technology and local presence with a capability to sell, service and install the product.

The competition was nearly two years long and challenged all the competitors to design a zero-carbon solution which would align with New York City’s Local Law 97 and 154’s mandate to eliminate carbon-based fuel burning heating technology.

This was no easy task as much of the city’s infrastructure does not allow for simple retrofits. Most buildings have single pass steam pipe to radiators and installing ducting and long runs of refrigerant lines is costly, space prohibitive and risky of refrigerant leaks with ozone damaging impacts. The solution provided by MPN overcame these challenges and is being recognized as the best solution available for building owners and operators who desire to conform to the local laws in the upcoming years.

A New Chapter for Growth and Impact

In response to the market interest over the last year for this ground-breaking new technology, and to be better equipped to help the New York decarbonization effort., MPN is excited to announce the launch of Hudson Clean Heat, a sister company to MPN and a part of the 2Hudson family of companies. Hudson Clean Heat will be a dedicated team specifically focused on bringing MPN’s sustainability solutions to the NYC Metro area.

MPN will begin slowly transitioning their sustainability team to the Hudson Clean Heat, with a target for the full transition to be completed by January 1st, 2026.

By launching this new entity, Hudson Clean Heat, MPN and 2Hudson are committed to:

  • Distinguishing their boiler business from their sustainability solutions, making it clear to customers the different missions of each company.
  • Meeting growing demand for Local Law 97 compliance solutions.
  • Strengthening partnerships with clients, communities, and policymakers.

MPN President & 2Hudson CEO Jaime Tetrault quoted, “Being recognized as the winner of The Empire Technology Prize affirms the innovate nature of our solution design and the importance of creating visibility of this new heating solution to the owners and operators of buildings across New York City. The creation of Hudson Clean Heat allows us to differentiate our sustainable solutions from our boiler business, better serve a different set of partners, and meet the expectations of our customers with a focus on staying abreast of the most advanced green-energy solutions in the marketplace.”

Quote from MPN’s Principal, Sales and Business Development Manager Ian Rowburrey “The competition was incredibly challenging as the competition was proposing some very well-designed solutions. One of the largest advantages MPN had in the competition was our overall knowledge of the steam challenges the buildings of NYC face. MPN is a boiler company and we know steam. We also know the owners, operators, MEP engineering firms and the subcontractors who have to install the technology. Our goal was to identify a technology which was both easy to install and retrofit, and also readily available in the global market. Finding Oilon’s water source heat pump was a major milestone for MPN in that it allowed us to combine all these market needs into a comprehensive solution able to achieve all these goals.”
