On April 30, 2024, the RTC hosted a fireside chat on LinkedIn Live about our case study Decarbonizing Process Heat at California Dairies, Inc. (CDI) with Skyven Technologies.
CDI and Skyven completed a total of six decarbonization projects across CDI’s two largest facilities in 2023. The projects deployed three renewable thermal technologies: solar thermal systems, smart steam traps, and boiler heat recovery systems. Skyven and CDI expect the projects to avoid approximately 7,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions and over 110,000 MMBtu of natural gas consumption each year.
Chris Barnhill, Director of Marketing at Skyven Technologies, shared how the project started, what it took to bring it to fruition, key outcomes, and lessons learned.
