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.

The country’s industrial sector poses a severe challenge: while the share of renewable energy used to generate electricity continues to grow\, so does the use of thermal energy to produce heat. Previous analyses\, including the Renewable Thermal Vision Report\, have identified an opportunity to reduce thermal emissions through electrification\, leveraging the rise of renewable electricity to power industrial processes. \nThis report analyzes a handful of industries and the impact electrification would have on their energy use\, emissions\, and energy costs. Because industrial facilities\, policy\, and renewable energy resources vary across geographies\, this study takes a state-by-state approach\, describing the impacts and benefits of electrification in 20 different jurisdictions. The report makes six recommendations for policymakers looking to electrify their state’s industrial heat use: supporting emerging technologies\, using financial incentives\, increasing renewable electricity generation\, enhancing the grid\, engaging communities\, and growing the workforce. \nDownload the Report. \n\n\n  \nFill out the form below to view 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 *Job Title *Would you like to receive occasional updates from the RTC? *YesNoWatch the Recording URL:https://www.renewablethermal.org/event/report-release-webinar-industrial-electrification-in-u-s-states-report/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.renewablethermal.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Webinar-Recording-Graphic.png ORGANIZER;CN="Renewable Thermal Collaborative":MAILTO:info@renewablethermal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230221T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230221T120000 DTSTAMP:20250313T174941Z CREATED:20250313T174941Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250313T174941Z UID:10000113-1676977200-1676980800@www.renewablethermal.org SUMMARY:Recording: Food & Beverage Sector Working Group Launch Call DESCRIPTION:The RTC launched the Food and Beverage Working Group with a kickoff call on February 21\, 2023.

In the U.S.\, industrial emissions are the third largest source of emissions after electricity and transportation. Decarbonizing this sector is critical to meet our climate goals\, and developing and deploying renewable thermal technologies can help drive investments in new and existing industries\, make U.S. industries economically stronger\, make our communities healthier and more just\, and create jobs up and down the industrial value chain.\nSee the recording below for a conversation about the importance of renewable thermal solutions for U.S. industry.\nSpeakers included: \n\nPeter Dahm\, Sustainability Director for Operations and Natural Resources\, Cargill\nHannah Abell\, Energy Strategy Engineer\, General Motors\nRachel Goldstein\, North America Public Policy Director\, Mars\, Inc.\nMarty Spitzer\, Senior Director of Climate and Renewable Energy\, World Wildlife Fund URL:https://www.renewablethermal.org/event/webinar-renewable-thermal-energy-turning-up-the-heat-for-industrial-jobs-competitiveness-and-energy-security-while-cutting-emissions/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Webinar ORGANIZER;CN="Renewable Thermal Collaborative":MAILTO:info@renewablethermal.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
