The annual Renewable Energy Markets™ conference convenes a broad spectrum of industry professionals who are rapidly transforming the global clean energy marketplace. For over 25 years, REM™ has remained the leading forum for promoting and accelerating the clean energy economy. REM™ 2023 was held September 18–20, 2023 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C. RTC Executive Director Blaine Collison moderated […]
Industry produces 23% of U.S. emissions, half of which come from burning fossil fuels for heat. These long neglected and difficult to decarbonize emissions are getting new attention. At The Nest Campus at NYC Climate Week 2023, staff from the Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC) and Boston Consulting Group presented recent analysis showing that we have more opportunities and technological options […]
The Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC) and Diageo held a sold-out event at Climate Week 2023 to discuss accelerating decarbonization in the food and beverage sector. The event’s expert panel discussed how food and beverage leaders are approaching thermal decarbonization. Diageo and other corporate energy buyers shared their perspectives and experiences with different technologies and strategies, lessons learned, and what’s next. […]
Thermal Energy Storage (TES) technology presents the opportunity to draw from increasingly abundant renewable electricity sources to reduce nearly all greenhouse gas emissions from industrial heat – a sizable portion of overall U.S. emissions. TES technologies convert clean electricity through grid and off-grid sources into continuous industrial heat using simple components and storage materials while helping to balance the power […]
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) made some significant investments in industrial decarbonization, particularly for clean hydrogen and carbon capture, storage, and utilization. However, analyses show that the IRA does not adequately incentivize the full range of renewable thermal solutions. To accelerate the decarbonization of thermal energy for industry and buildings, the RTC […]
For Immediate ReleaseAugust 8, 2023 12:00 pm ET New Report Highlights Pathways to Decarbonizing Heat in the Food and Beverage Sector Renewable Thermal Collaborative Provides Recommendations for Corporate Energy Buyers and Other Stakeholders to Reduce Emissions in a Key Industrial Sector WASHINGTON, D.C. – Industrial heat pumps can be effectively deployed in a variety of common food and beverage manufacturing […]
In the U.S., food & beverage processing produces more emissions from industrial heat use than any other sector outside of refineries, chemicals, or iron & steel. 97% of the heat in this sector falls in the low-temperature range, making electrification with heat pumps and electric boilers a promising opportunity for cutting emissions in the near-term. According to the Renewable Thermal […]
For Immediate Release August 1, 2023 Renewable Thermal Collaborative’s Quarterly Update on Industrial Decarbonization New Members, New Research, Pioneering Projects Washington, D.C. – The Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC), the only global coalition focused exclusively on the decarbonization of thermal energy with renewable solutions, today shared its first Quarterly Update on Industrial Decarbonization (QUID). Highlights of the second quarter include four […]
This roadmap is designed to help thermal energy users identify, analyze, and execute electrification projects. It categorizes what companies need to consider and the questions they need to ask while exploring electrification options.
