SUMMARY:Climate Week 2020 Panel: The Road to Decarbonizing Industrial Heat: The Need for a Clean Heat Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Heat is the largest contribution to energy consumption in our society. To address the climate emergency\, we urgently need to decarbonize the energy required for heat in buildings and industrial processes. However\, natural gas remains the predominant source of heating for both the healthcare industry and business at large in many countries. The current reality is that availability of green gas is limited and is not meeting growing demands. A clean heat strategy is required that addresses the role renewable electricity plays alongside other alternative low-carbon technologies such as green gas\, hydrogen and fuel cells. We need to drive private and public sector partnership to ensure that infrastructure and investment exists to meet the demand for clean heat and tackle the climate crisis. \nPanelists included: \n\nDavid Croft – Global Director Sustainability\, Environment & Human Rights\, RB\nDr Julio Friedmann – Senior Research Scholar\, Columbia University SIPA\nLouise Nicholls – Managing Director\, Suseco\nBen Norbury – Global Climate Lead\, AstraZeneca\nMarty Spitzer – Senior Director\, Climate and Renewable Energy\, World Wildlife Fund\n\nTo watch a full recording of the event\, click here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: New Developments in Renewable Thermal Instruments and Markets
DESCRIPTION:Thermal energy stakeholders consistently point to the need for instruments and markets similar to Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)\, which have proven invaluable in enabling and accelerating renewable electricity transactions in both voluntary and compliance markets. \nM-RETS and the Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) have made significant progress towards developing renewable thermal certificate (RTC) markets. \nOn July 22\, 2020 from 12-1pm ET\, the Renewable Thermal Collaborative hosted a webinar that focused on these recent developments in the North American renewable thermal market. \nSpeakers included: \n\nBen Gerber\, Executive Director of M-RETS\nRachael Terada\, Director of Technical Projects at CRS\nBlaine Collison\, Senior Vice President\, David Gardiner and Associates (facilitator)\n\nA recording of the webinar is available here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Does Solar Thermal Make Sense for Your Organization? Solar Thermal C&I Decarbonization Series Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Solar thermal is an established renewable thermal technology\, but it has received far less attention in recent years than solar photovoltaics (PV). The Renewable Thermal Collaborative is taking a two-part look at the state and potential of this exciting technology in 2020. \nOn Thursday\, May 28 from 1-2pm ET\, the RTC presented the first session on solar thermal. RTC Solutions Providers SunDrum Solar and Solar UV Solutions shared insights from their respective experiences deploying two different cutting-edge solar thermal technologies in the field. Listeners will come away from the discussion with a refreshed sense of what solar thermal can do\, how it might address their specific needs\, and how to identify potential implementation opportunities. \nA second session later this year will share new solar thermal-related research and analysis from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). \nSpeakers included: \n\nDon Frank\, Founder and Owner\, Solar UV Solutions\nMichael G. Intrieri\, Founder and CEO\, SunDrum® Solar\nBlaine Collison\, Senior Vice President\, David Gardiner and Associates (facilitator)\n\nA recording of the webinar is available:

SUMMARY:Solar Thermal C&I Decarbonization Series- Part 2
DESCRIPTION:On September 24\, 2020 the RTC hosted the second installment of our solar thermal webinar series\, titled “Solar Thermal C&I Decarbonization.” Building on our May 28 look at solar thermal\, the RTC is continuously trying to expand our look at how solar thermal innovations can help companies – and particularly industrials – decarbonize. \nThe National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) discussed ongoing analysis of the opportunities for solar technologies to meet industrial process heat demand\, including insights gained from industry and other stakeholders. Click here for NREL’s Solar for Industrial Process Heat Analysis. \nAnd Heliogen – a clean energy company focused on eliminating the need for fossil fuels – discussed its breakthrough concentrated solar thermal technology that is capable of creating carbon-free\, ultra-high temperature heat from the sun to replace the use of fossil fuels in critical industrial processes. \nClick here to view our May 28 webinar and learn about the distinct solar thermal technologies and solutions offered by RTC Solutions Providers SunDrum Solar and SolarUV Solutions. \nSpeakers: \n\nParthiv Kurup\, Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Cost and Systems Analyst\, National Renewable Energy Laboratory\nVikas Tuteja\, Chief Operating Officer\, Heliogen\nBlaine Collison\, Renewable Thermal Collaborative\n\nDownload slides here. \nWatch a full recording of the event here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Overcoming Barriers to Renewable Heating and Cooling
DESCRIPTION:Energy used for heating and cooling comprises approximately 50 percent of total global final energy demand and 39 percent of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. Yet despite its large energy and carbon footprint and its significant potential to reduce carbon emissions\, the use of renewable energy for heating and cooling applications has received relatively little attention compared with renewable electricity. The Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC) has released a several groundbreaking publications in recent months that aim to address barriers to scaling up renewable thermal\, including guidance on carbon accounting\, a landscape review of the global market\, and a series of case studies. \nOur webinar on November 1 at 1 p.m. ET featured a discussion among large energy buyers about their experiences scaling up renewable thermal energy at their own facilities. The webinar included an in-depth review of the new series of case studies illustrating different renewable thermal technologies with Jessica Leung\, Solutions Fellow of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES). Members of the RTC\, Jay Harf of L’Oréal USA and Steve Skarda of Procter & Gamble\, discussed unique financing strategies\, challenges\, and lessons learned from their own projects. \nA copy of the slide deck is now available here and you can watch a recording below.
