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.

Earlier this week, the RTC hosted a webinar showcasing real-world examples of decarbonized heating and cooling. Experts from Solar UV Solutions, Kyotherm, and Scale Microgrids shared valuable insights from three compelling case studies: 🛫 Indianapolis International Airport: Don Frank of Solar UV Solutions shared how evacuated tube solar thermal collectors and hot water storage serve the airport's essential facilities. 🌾 Boortmalt: Elise Heath of Kyotherm discussed how Energy-as-a-Service financing enabled the installation of a flat plate solar thermal and hot water storage solution at a malting plant in France. ❄ Amond World: Clayton Yeko of Scale Microgrids described how the company designed and built an off-grid microgrid at a new refrigerated cold storage facility in California. The session provided insights into project implementation, lessons learned, and next steps for advancing thermal decarbonization. If you missed the event, use the link below to watch the recording. Stay tuned for more case studies from the RTC and opportunities to learn from experts in the field! 🔗 Webinar recording: https://lnkd.in/eJ3dqkFH #solarthermal #electrify #sustainability #climate #climateaction #energy #decarbonize

Great to see a new commercial heat pump water heater installation from RTC Solutions Provider Nyle Thermal.
✅ Another Nyle installation is up and running. This time at the YWCA in downtown #Seattle, WA. Installed as part of a retrofit project, these Nyle C250A air source HPWHs get a good view of the Seattle skyline. 🔗 Get more details at the link in the comments. 🔗 Thank you: Auburn Mechanical, Inc. #heatpumpwaterheater #retrofit
