This report presents a streamlined roadmap for decarbonizing the chemical sector\, which contributes nearly 20% of overall U.S. industrial emissions. Focused on the three most emissions-intensive production processes — ammonia\, methanol\, and High-Value Chemicals (HCVs) — the assessment outlines how clean hydrogen\, waste-derived biomass\, and other low-carbon thermal technologies can reduce emissions by over 60% by 2050.

Cihang Yuan\, Senior Program Officer at World Wildlife Fund\, and Caroline Narich\, Managing Director & Net Zero Strategy Lead at Accenture\, discussed the context and purpose of the assessment along with the key takeaways. \nThe chemical sector constitutes ~20% of U.S. industrial emissions. One-third of these emissions are attributed to the three key processes: 1) Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) and Haber Bosh to produce Ammonia\, 2) Steam Cracking to produce High Value Chemicals\, and 3) Steam Reforming (SMR) to produce Methanol. Demand from all three value chains is expected to grow significantly by 2050\, necessitating drastic changes to decarbonize the production processes. The RTC’s Chemical Sector Assessment identifies key decarbonization pathways to prioritize\, examines ways the implementation of solutions can benefit the communities they operate in\, and addresses the policies and regulations needed to support deployment. \nFill out the form below to watch the recording:\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail * \n from receive Title\n \n \n Organization *Title *Would you like to receive occasional updates from the RTC?YesNoWatch the Recording URL:https://www.renewablethermal.org/event/linkedin-live-chemical-sector-assessment-release-preview/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:LinkedIn Live ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.renewablethermal.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Graphic-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Renewable Thermal Collaborative":MAILTO:info@renewablethermal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240611T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240611T120000 DTSTAMP:20240522T152754Z CREATED:20240522T152754Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240522T152754Z UID:10000005-1718103600-1718107200@www.renewablethermal.org SUMMARY:RTC 2024 Community Call DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, the RTC will continue hosting Community Calls\, which are designed to support the collaboration and information-sharing that are fundamental to the RTC’s work.

These workshops built on the program from the RTC’s Pilot Projects Workshops in May 2023. \nThe workshops allowed RTC Members to conduct a series of one-on-one meetings with RTC Solutions Providers to learn about how their solutions can help advance decarbonization goals. RTC Members (energy buyers) selected a series of RTC Solutions Providers (renewable thermal solutions providers) ahead of time\, and the RTC organized consecutive 10-minute meetings between the two companies. \nThe RTC is paired these workshops with presentations about federal tax credit applications. Experts from the BlueGreen Alliance & K&L Gates covered best practices for developing the Community Benefits Plans required to access many federal clean energy programs. \nTo participate in future sessions\, companies must join the RTC.

Thermal batteries 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 grid. \nTo better understand the potential benefits of and barriers to the use of this technology for decarbonization\, the RTC published the report Thermal Batteries: Opportunities to Accelerate Decarbonization of Industrial Heating\, prepared in partnership with The Brattle Group. The report found that thermal batteries can be cost-competitive in much of the U.S. today\, and that opportunity will likely grow along with the continued buildout of renewable electricity sources. Based on modeling as well as interviews with industrial energy buyers and thermal battery developers\, the report offers a clear view of use cases where thermal batteries will be most cost-competitive for industrial companies and makes recommendations for policymakers and electricity market operators to further unlock the technology by addressing regulatory barriers. \nThe RTC released the report via webinar on October 5. Speakers at the event included:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoron Brenmiller\, Executive Vice President of Commercial\, Brenmiller\nBlaine Collison\, Executive Director\, Renewable Thermal Collaborative\nCaroline Jo\, Vice President of Project Finance\, Rondo Energy\n\nChris Kardish\, Senior Manager of Industrial Decarbonization\, Center for Climate and Energy Solutions\nNick Soncrant\, Head of Business Development\, Antora Energy \nKathleen Spees\, Principal\, The Brattle Group \nPhillip Stephenson\, Vice President of Business Development\, Electrified Thermal Solutions \nGreg Wellman\, Technology Manager of Decarbonization\, Eastman \n\n  \n\n\nTo watch the webinar recording\, fill out the form below:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail * \n you Email Organization\n \n \n Organization *Title *Would you like to receive occasional updates from the RTC? *YesNoWatch the Recording \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated Materials:\n\n\n\n\n\n Thermal Batteries: Opportunities to Accelerate Decarbonization of Industrial Heating \n Press Release URL:https://www.renewablethermal.org/event/rtc-webinar-thermal-batteries-opportunities-to-accelerate-decarbonization-of-industrial-heating/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.renewablethermal.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/TES-Webinar-Recording.png ORGANIZER;CN="Renewable Thermal Collaborative":MAILTO:info@renewablethermal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230919T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230919T190000 DTSTAMP:20250313T171711Z CREATED:20250313T171603Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250313T171711Z UID:10000104-1695139200-1695150000@www.renewablethermal.org SUMMARY:RTC and Diageo at Climate Week 2023 DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe event’s expert panel discussed how food and beverage leaders are approaching thermal decarbonization.
