The RTC is the leading coalition for organizations working to decarbonize process heat and buildings.
About us
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. In the United States, heating and cooling account for more than 25 percent of total energy use across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors at a cost of $270 billion annually. 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, including biomass, biogas, geothermal, landfill gas, renewable electrification, renewable hydrogen, and solar thermal, has received relatively little attention compared with renewable electricity. The Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC) serves as the leading coalition for organizations that are committed to scaling up renewable heating and cooling at their facilities and dramatically cutting carbon emissions. RTC members recognize the growing demand and necessity for renewable heating and cooling and the urgent need to meet this demand in a manner that delivers sustainable, cost-competitive options at scale. The Renewable Thermal Collaborative is facilitated by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, David Gardiner and Associates, and World Wildlife Fund.

The #microgrid RTC Solutions Provider Scale Microgrids built for Origo Cold Storage at Amond World, a new 500,000 square foot refrigerated cold storage facility in California’s Central Valley, proves the case that microgrids can play a critical role in developing electrified cooling solutions. Lessons learned emphasize that microgrids expedite electrification, redundancy ensures reliable power supply, and off-grid microgrids can reduce emissions compared to the grid. Delve deeper into these lessons learned here: https://lnkd.in/dkQbR979 This case study will be featured in the RTC Webinar: Three Case Studies in Sustainable Heating and Cooling on November 19 from 11 am - 12 pm ET.

Make plans to join us on November 19 from 11 am-12 pm ET for the RTC Webinar: Three Case Studies in Sustainable Heating and Cooling featuring our newest case studies: Solar Thermal at the Indianapolis International Airport, Solar Thermal at Boortmalt Malting Plant, and Microgrid at Amond World Cold Storage Facility. Featured speakers include: - Don Frank, Founder and Owner of RTC Solutions Provider Solar UV Solutions. Don will share how evacuated tube #solarthermal collectors and hot water #storage are serving the Indianapolis International Airport’s essential facilities. - Elise Heath, Investment Manager & Business Developer with RTC Solutions Provider Kyotherm. Elise will discuss how Energy-as-a-Service (#EaaS) financing enabled Boortmalt to install a flat plate solar thermal and hot water storage solution at a malting plant in France. - Clayton Yeko, Senior Business Development Manager with RTC Solutions Provider Scale Microgrids. Clayton will describe how the company designed and built an off-grid #microgrid at a new refrigerated cold storage facility operated by Amond World in Madera, California. Register for the webinar to learn about the projects, lessons learned, and next steps from practitioners and thermal decarbonization experts: https://lnkd.in/e5HfwtCK #casestudy #renewableenergy #climatesolutions #industrialdecarbonization #aviation #solutionsproviders #coldstorage #sustainability #heating #cooling
