During this webinar\, the tool developers from Verco demonstrated how these freely available\, spreadsheet-based resources simplify the complex process of evaluating heat pump installations\, making it accessible for both technical and non-technical staff to understand the best fit for their industrial operations. The tools come in three parts: \n\nTool 1: Initial Screening helps companies understand where a heat pump might be useful\, identify suitable technologies\, and provide examples of similar installations using simple inputs.\nTool 2: Feasibility Assessment enables users to assess the commercial viability of a heat pump project for a specific site or operation. This tool now includes a rapid assessment feature for quicker feedback as well as improved cost and performance estimations.\nTool 3: Supplier Database – This tool connects users with heat pump providers worldwide\, allowing them to find suppliers based on country and desired technology type.\n\nThe webinar included a presentation from HEINEKEN’s Nuria Navarrete\, who shared practical insights and lessons learned from her company’s heat pump strategy and global implementations. \nFill out the form below to watch 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 * \n the RTC?

Global staff from RTC Members connected with their choice of RTC Solutions Providers\, resulting in 79 focused\, one-on-one meetings during which more than 115 total participants explored deployment opportunities and potential collaborations. The workshops allow companies to efficiently explore the many pathways available as they map their route for decarbonizing heat use. Learn more in this blog post. \nThese workshops are just one example of the networking opportunities available exclusively to RTC Members and Solutions Providers.

The 2025 workshops consisted of two sessions\, one on February 5 at 2 pm ET and February 6 at 10 am ET.\n \nMembers selected Solutions Providers ahead of time based on their responses to a survey. Based on those choices\, the RTC organized 15 minute meetings between the companies using Zoom breakout rooms. The workshops happened happen twice on consecutive days at different times to allow staff in different time zones to participate.

On the RTC’s case study webinar on May 19\, implementers from two pioneering pilots shared their experiences and lessons learned. \nAt SUNY Purchase\, RTC Solutions Provider Brenmiller Energy and the New York Power Authority (NYPA) deployed a 450 kW thermal energy storage system integrated with a combined heat and power microturbine. At Birra Peroni’s brewery in Bari\, Italy\, RTC Solutions Provider Absolicon installed a 460 kW solar thermal field and hot water storage tank to power the beer pasteurization process. Expert speakers from Brenmiller\, NYPA\, and Absolicon discussed how these pilots are designed to validate technology performance\, gather operational data\, and build confidence for future projects. \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 * \n to Email receive\n \n \n Organization *Title *Would you like to receive occasional updates from the RTC?YesNoWatch the Recording URL:https://www.renewablethermal.org/event/case-study-webinar-innovative-pilot-projects/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.renewablethermal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/graphic.png ORGANIZER;CN="Renewable Thermal Collaborative":MAILTO:info@renewablethermal.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250528T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250528T120000 DTSTAMP:20250501T205037Z CREATED:20250501T205037Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250501T205037Z UID:10000139-1748430000-1748433600@www.renewablethermal.org SUMMARY:Policy Working Group DESCRIPTION:The RTC holds frequent Working Group meetings convening our Members\, Solutions Providers\, and staff to discuss current issues\, gather feedback\, and facilitate collaboration related to each of our workstreams.

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.

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.

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.
