Industrial electrification represents a major opportunity to strengthen American manufacturing, support economic growth, and reduce manufacturers’ exposure to volatile fuel costs. A new report from the Renewable Thermal Collaborative and the Industrial Heat Pump Alliance, produced by Greenline Insights, examines the economic opportunity associated with
Heat used to manufacture goods accounts for half of all onsite industrial energy use in the United States, making it the single largest source of industrial energy consumption and a major driver of greenhouse gas emissions. A growing suite of renewable thermal technologies offer a
China and India are two of the world’s most important manufacturing hubs. Companies increasingly seek to decarbonize industrial heat use across their supply chains in these markets. As more companies set supply chain climate goals and seek practical pathways to reduce manufacturing emissions, demand for

Perdue Farms, a U.S. food and agriculture company, collaborated with RTC Solutions Provider GreenGas USA to produce renewable natural gas (RNG), also known as biomethane, from methane captured from the wastewater system at Perdue’s facility in North Carolina. Completed in 2023, the project installed covers
To help close the knowledge and capacity gaps preventing heat pump deployment, the Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC), along with energy specialists Verco, has developed a suite of three Heat Pump
The New York Power Authority (NYPA) collaborated with Renewable Thermal Collaborative Solutions Provider Brenmiller Energy to implement thermal energy storage (TES) at Purchase College’s physical education building. Completed in 2023, this $2.5 million project features a Brenmiller bGen™ TES unit paired with a combined heat
In the rapidly evolving landscape of renewable thermal projects, community engagement has become a critical component for successful development, yet many organizations struggle to effectively partner with local stakeholders and deliver meaningful benefits. The RTC Community Benefits Handbook provides a comprehensive, practical guide to help
Birra Peroni, part of the Asahi Group, partnered with RTC Solutions Provider Absolicon to deploy an innovative solar thermal system at its Bari, Italy brewery. Commissioned in June 2023, the 460 kW ground-mounted field of parabolic trough collectors generates renewable hot water and steam at
While industrial electrification must play a critical role in decarbonizing the U.S., utilities often lack clear pathways to support industrial customers’ electrification efforts. Electricity costs frequently make such transitions financially unfavorable compared to natural gas. The Utility Engagement Playbook for Industrial Customers: Addressing Power Sector
