Company Overview
The Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC) stands as the premier global, buyer-led coalition dedicated to spearheading the decarbonization of thermal energy through innovative renewable solutions. Recognizing that heating and cooling account for approximately half of global final energy demand and a significant portion of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, the RTC addresses a crucial area often overlooked compared to renewable electricity. It convenes a powerful network of companies, institutions, and governmental bodies committed to scaling up renewable heating and cooling technologies at their facilities, thus dramatically cutting carbon emissions.
The RTC's strategic focus spans three critical intersecting domains: technology advancement, market development, and policy advocacy. It actively collaborates with its members and solution providers to identify and dismantle the technological, policy, and market barriers that large thermal energy users frequently encounter. This concerted effort aims to foster the widespread adoption of sustainable and cost-competitive thermal energy options across industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
The collaborative's work encompasses a broad spectrum of renewable thermal technologies, including beneficial electrification, advanced geothermal systems, green hydrogen production, industrial heat pumps, renewable natural gas (RNG), solar thermal applications, and thermal energy storage (TES). Beyond technology, the RTC develops vital market-based instruments, establishes robust GHG accounting practices, and offers practical tools such as a Policy Finder and Partner Locator to accelerate project implementation. Its diverse membership, representing trillions in market capitalization from sectors like automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and technology, underscores its commitment to driving a clean heat strategy and achieving ambitious climate targets through collaborative innovation.
