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. Watch the webinar recording to hear a detailed exploration of the analysis and to hear the RTC’s recommendations for chemical companies\, their customers\, and policymakers looking to decarbonize this critical sector. \n  \nUse the form below to access the webinar recording:\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastEmail *Organization *Title * \n the you Name\n \n \n Would you like to receive occasional updates from the RTC?YesNoWatch the Recording \n  URL:https://www.renewablethermal.org/event/webinar-chemical-sector-assessment/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.renewablethermal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/graphic_recording-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Renewable Thermal Collaborative":MAILTO:info@renewablethermal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240620T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240620T120000 DTSTAMP:20250312T203805Z CREATED:20250312T203805Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250312T203805Z UID:10000088-1718881200-1718884800@www.renewablethermal.org SUMMARY:Case Study Webinar: Electrifying Industrial Process Heat DESCRIPTION:On June 20\, 2024\, the RTC held a webinar exploring two case studies focused on decarbonizing process heat in the food and beverage sector with thermal energy storage and industrial heat pumps. \nIn the first case study\, speakers from Herkkumaa Oy and Elstor Oy discussed how installing a thermal energy storage system at Herkkumaa’s food manufacturing facility in Finland reduced its annual energy costs by $140\,000 and eliminated its process steam emissions. \nIn the second case study\, Piller Blowers & Compressors GmbH described how its mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) heat pump technology enabled Chivas Brothers\, the Scotch whisky business of Pernod Ricard\, to recover waste heat and electrify distillation at Glentauchers\, reducing its carbon emissions by 53%. \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 receive from you\n \n \n Organization *Title *Would you like to receive occasional updates from the RTC?YesNoWatch the Recording URL:https://www.renewablethermal.org/event/case-study-webinar-electrifying-industrial-process-heat/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.renewablethermal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/graphic_recording_speakers.png ORGANIZER;CN="Renewable Thermal Collaborative":MAILTO:info@renewablethermal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240617T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240617T133000 DTSTAMP:20250312T204044Z CREATED:20250312T204044Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250312T204044Z UID:10000089-1718629200-1718631000@www.renewablethermal.org SUMMARY:LinkedIn Live: Chemical Sector Assessment Release Preview DESCRIPTION:On June 17\, 2024\, the RTC streamed a session to LinkedIn Live previewing our upcoming Chemical Sector Assessment. 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 Name updates Would\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.
