Thank you to everyone who attended the third annual RTC Summit, October 20-21, 2022 in Washington, DC. The Summit helped thermal energy users—industrial, commercial, and institutional—and solutions providers connect, learn, and collaborate. We engaged on a range of topics, including the US Inflation Reduction Act, third-party financing for renewable thermal projects, greenhouse gas accounting and market instruments, and more, all with a focus on accelerating renewable thermal solutions and decarbonizing thermal energy use.

We’d like to thank this year’s sponsors,
Absolicon Solar Collectors, Antora Energy, Armstrong International, Coho Climate Advisors, Kyotherm, Rondo Energy, and Vanguard Renewables for making this event possible. We hope to see all the attendees again at next year’s Summit, as well as in the course of our ongoing work.
