SolarSteam Inc. is ready to step up to the challenge to develop cost-competitive solutions for industrial heat in response to the Industrial Heat Shot™ announced on September 21, 2022 by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
DOE Launches New Energy Earthshot To Cut Industrial Heating Emissions By 85 Percent >> https://lnkd.in/gGyG2YTW
“Industrial heating processes” refer to the many methods by which heat transforms materials into useful products. Heat is pervasive in manufacturing—it is used to remove moisture, create steam, separate chemicals, treat metals, melt plastics, and much more. Industrial heat accounts for about 9% of the entire U.S. emissions footprint. The Industrial Heat Shot will have the additional impact of reducing air pollution associated with burning fossil fuels that will improve the health of communities living in proximity to manufacturing facilities.
The Industrial Heat Shot ™ has three key pathways to its target with one of them being: Integrate low-emissions heat sources: Transition to low-emission heat sources, such as geothermal energy, concentrated solar power, or nuclear energy, and increase thermal storage.
