• Industrial Heat Pump Alliance Launches Tool to Streamline Procurement of Key Clean Energy Technology

    American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, National Electrical Manufacturers Association, and Renewable Thermal Collaborative Jointly Accelerate National Effort to Promote Development and Deployment of Industrial Heat Pumps   September 16, 2024 Contacts: Ben Somberg, 202-658-8129, [email protected]  Ben Finzel, 202-277-6286, [email protected]  Emily Druckman, (703) 841-3260, [email protected]  For industrial facilities facing the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and operating costs, industrial heat pumps (IHPs) present an effective solution to efficiently deliver low- to medium-temperature process heat for manufacturing. The national Industrial Heat Pump (IHP) Alliance aims to support the adoption of this technology, which the U.S. Department of Energy has named as a key solution for decarbonizing the industrial sector. The IHP Alliance’s new tool–the IHP Procurement Toolkit–will help facilities more easily procure this equipment to cut energy use, operational costs, and emissions. The IHP Procurement Toolkit will help facilities communicate their project requirements to potential suppliers to simplify the competitive bidding process. It was launched on the […]
