On May 1 and 3, the RTC hosted identical two-hour workshops to support RTC Members’ industrial decarbonization pilot projects, especially those which could receive funding from Section 48C federal tax credits. Each workshop featured: Detailed information on Section 48C project requirements, presented by K&L Gates’ […]
On June 14, the RTC presented deep dives into the Renewable Thermal Vision and Industrial Electrification in U.S. States report at the National Association of State Energy Officials’ (NASEO) State Industrial Working Group’s webinar. RTC staff outlined the reports’ evaluations of how the U.S. can […]
On Thursday, June 29 the RTC held an expert panel discussion on thermal efficiency, waste heat recovery, and related strategies as drivers and accelerators of renewable thermal deployments and industrial decarbonization. The discussion featured RTC Members Procter & Gamble and PepsiCo alongside strategic thermal solutions […]
On Wednesday, July 26th from 12 – 1 pm, the RTC held an in-person briefing for Congress presenting the findings of the Renewable Thermal Vision Report and its implications for policymakers. The report examines priority industrial sectors in the United States and analyzes their thermal […]
In the U.S., food and beverage processing and manufacturing produces more emissions from industrial heat use than any sector other than refineries, chemicals, or iron & steel. The low-temperature heat accounts for 97% of the thermal energy use in this sector, making electrification with heat […]
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 […]
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 […]
Thermal battery 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. Thermal batteries convert clean electricity through grid and off-grid sources into continuous industrial […]
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Washington, DC in October 2023 for our fourth annual Renewable Thermal Collaborative Summit! The event occurred on October 19 & 20, 2023, at the Park Hyatt hotel in Washington, DC. It facilitated connections among attendees from large […]
On November 13, the RTC held a webinar with the Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) Council, the Brattle Group, and Roland Berger to explore how innovations in thermal batteries will pave the road to industrial decarbonization. Thermal batteries use simple components and storage materials to […]
On February 7 & 8, the RTC held virtual Partnership Workshops consisting of curated, one-to-one networking between RTC Members and Solutions Providers. These workshops built on the program from the RTC’s Pilot Projects Workshops in May 2023. The workshops allowed RTC Members to conduct a […]
The nation’s largest energy users are beginning to accelerate their transition to modern, clean, electrified facilities. This shift will place unprecedented demand on U.S. power grids and utilities’ ability to deliver energy at the levels required to meet industry’s needs. To initiate a conversation between […]
