In our recent poll, you answered that #sustainableenergy was the benefit of heat that resonated with you the most. In response, we wanted to share more info on how heat can deliver this #cleanenergy. 🧵 (1/9)

Bring on the Heat: Essential industrial facilities produce thermal energy which dissipates into our atmosphere. This waste heat can be recovered and converted to power with technologies similar to low-temp geothermal energy generation or redistribute it.

When most people think about the energy transition, they tend to focus on how we are generating clean electricity. In colder climates, energy systems are in need of finding ways we can produce...

Agreed! Economics = a key factor in our energy project developments, but we phrase it differently. Instead of "free energy projects," we say "turnkey projects with zero CapEx options transforming heat into value." How we frame that economic value is the key difference for us.

I cringe when startups say “we’re cheaper” than the competitor. Cheaper has a negative connotation whereas less expensive sounds like a benefit. Idk if it’s the salesperson in me but it makes a difference.

Depending on the technology used, #heattopower projects eliminate the need for water usage, further minimizing its environmental footprint. 🌊🐟 (8/9)

Power plants built from #OrganicRankineCycle (#ORC) systems have one of the smallest surface areas per megawatt of any form of #electricity production. That means less land is needed to produce greater amounts of power. ⚡️👣 (7/9)

#Emissionfree energy projects offset carbon-intensive energy use, and can generate environmental attributes like #carbon credits to help industries advance their #netzero goals. 🍃 (6/9)

How does heat = #cleanenergy? First, heat can be converted to emission-free electricity through an #OrganicRankineCycle (#ORC) system. ⚡️ Heat can also be used directly in district energy systems to heat and cool buildings without combusting additional fossil fuels. (5/9)

Industrial #wasteheat is rejected heat from industrial activities that can be repurposed to produce power. As operations rarely cease, and the #heattopower process creates no new emissions, waste heat is an alternative source of baseload, #emissionfree energy. (4/9)

#Geothermalenergy harnesses the naturally recurring, emission-free heat of the earth. As the earth generates this heat 24/7, 365 days a year, #geothermal is classified as a #renewable energy source. (3/9)

First, what is heat? We define heat as the thermal energy sources readily available beneath our feet and within our industrial facilities. Aka, #geothermalenergy and industrial #wasteheat. (2/9)

How do we implement #ESG initiatives? Terrapin's #emissionfree #energy projects can create monetizable #environmental attributes, such as #emissions performance credits or #carbonoffsets, which can be used to advance #netzero goals:

The only time we reminisce about winter is when we think about how #ORC tech converts low temp heat resources into electricity in any climate - including snowy #Canada, pictured below. Learn more about ORC #heattopower #technology here: https://t.co/mypdpDMK58

Thermal Energy is the Missing Link for transition to clean energy. Waste heat to power technologies provide an emission-free way of utilizing an otherwise wasted resource as an additional energy source.
