On May 9, 2024, the RTC held a webinar to explore two case studies focused on industrial process heat decarbonization with integrated solar thermal and heat recovery solutions. In the first case study, speakers from Colgate-Palmolive and Absolicon Solar Collector AB discussed how a solar […]
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. […]
On April 24, 2024, the RTC convened a virtual roundtable discussion to discuss how state policy can enable renewable thermal decarbonization. The RTC shared information on state-level policy opportunities, including research conducted by ENGIE Impact, and discussed which policies can add the most value for […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 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 May 25, 2023, RTC Executive Director Blaine Collison spoke at a webinar held by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) discussing the recent report Industrial Electrification in U.S. States. The webinar shared highlights from the report analyzing the electrification potential for 12 […]
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’ […]
