Electrified Thermal Solutions’ Post

A really interesting look into what it means to run on "100% clean power". Annual matching is no longer good enough as hourly matching comes into full focus. Give this latest from Heatmap News a read as the article explores how companies like Granular Energy are taking the hourly matching need head on -- and succeeding. #hydrogen #renewableenergy

How can commercial and industrial facilities source reliable and legitimately clean heat and power 24/7 when solar+battery solutions are impractical and/or too expensive? Recently I learned about Mainspring Energy's linear electric generator -- a small scale, high efficiency (46%), multifuel combined heat and power (CHP) technology. In the context of a natural gas utility planning for the future, Mainspring's CHP offers a sustainable and fuel-flexible approach for customers with baseload heat and electrical demand who are also considering their part in the energy transition. Today, CHPs can supply clean electricity and heat to customers all day long when supplied with zero-to-negative-carbon RNG (renewable natural gas) produced by companies like South Jersey Industries from food waste, animal manure, and/or waste agricultural residuals. In the not-too-distant future, fuel-flexible CHPs will also be able to reliably generate electricity and heat for customers supplied with readily available clean hydrogen or whatever other renewably produced fuels inevitably come along. #anaerobicdigestion #foodwaste #organicwaste #sustainability #decarbonization #sustainablesolutions #sustainableenergy #sustainableagriculture #climatechange #climatesolutions #renewableenergy #wastetoenergy #rng #profitability #businessinnovation

My latest for Heatmap! Moving to 24/7 clean electricity could be a major boon for grid decarbonization, but it's causing a kerfuffle among some in the hydrogen industry and grid infrastructure worlds. It's certainly going to require a major shift from the way we do things now.

Have you seen our latest blog? The scale of heat decarbonisation required across Scottish industry to achieve net zero by 2045 is vast. The UK Government has stated its ambition to replace 50TWh of fossil fuels with low carbon alternatives by 2035 – primarily focusing on hydrogen, electrification, and bioenergy to achieve this goal. Penned by Principal Engineer at Reheat | B Corp™, Andrew McGhee, this latest edition to our knowledge bank offers some insights around each approach to industrial energy generation and efficiency, and provides an extended view on bioenergy. https://lnkd.in/dKh4iSXM

We are pleased to announce the publication of our newest case study on the industrial decarbonization project undertaken by RTC Solutions Provider Skyven Technologies, an Energy-as-a-Service company with a mission to decarbonize industrial process heat, and California Dairies, Inc., the largest member-owned milk marketing and processing cooperative in California. CDI and Skyven completed a total of six decarbonization projects across CDI’s two largest facilities in 2023. The projects deployed three renewable thermal technologies: solar thermal systems, smart steam traps, and boiler heat recovery systems. Skyven and CDI expect the projects to avoid approximately 7,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions and over 110,000 MMBtu of natural gas consumption each year. These results support CDI’s goals to achieve a 30% reduction in direct and supply chain greenhouse gases by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. Download the case study to find out more about how the project started, what it took to bring it to fruition, key outcomes, and lessons learned: https://lnkd.in/gFWajzm5 #decarbonization #industrialprocessheat #renewablethermalenergy #solarthermal #smartsteamtraps #boilerheatrecovery #solutionsprovider

It’s great that our investment in Rondo Energy is getting some positive attention! Thermal heat storage will play an important role in decarbonising our industry, as we aim to #electrifyeverything as practically as possible. But as Dr. Vidhura Ralapanawe has noted, the editors choice of “push” in the headline is a poor choice of words. And wasn’t something anyone at H&M has said, so please hold your criticism on this. Thermal heat storage is already being used in China to decarbonise steam, and we are exploring all opportunities to further expand this technology to help factories meet their unique and site-specific decarbonisation challenges. https://lnkd.in/gKZdAeVQ

💨 🏭 In the past, factories relied on burning polluting fuels like coal and gas, spewing toxic smoke from large smokestacks. 🌞 📈 Today, TIGI is leading a revolution by transitioning to solar heating combined with smart thermal storage and industrial heat pumps - an efficient, clean, and cost-saving solution. ⚡ TIGI seamlessly integrates cutting-edge heat pump technology into their renewable heat systems. 🚨 Industries - don't get left behind, switch to TIGI's renewable heat technology with heat pumps to reduce costs and drastically improve your carbon footprint! 🌳🍃 https://www.tigisolar.com/ #RenewableEnergy #sustainability #energyefficiency #heatpumps #solarthermal #smartstorage
