Low Carbon Pilot - Peer Exchanges

The Low Carbon Pilot offered peer exchanges that covered a range of topics related to decarbonization efforts including project financing, renewable energy sources, and new technologies. Together these exchanges provide a comprehensive overview of the various strategies and approaches being used to reduce carbon emissions. Learn from experts and gain a deeper understanding of these topics by clicking on the links below.

PEER EXCHANGES

Carbon Accounting and Reporting 
Learn more about Renewable Energy Certificates and its tracking system operations, the implementation of renewable energy procurements, and the benefits of using renewable energy purchases. 

Carbon Capture
Learn more about Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and different CSS demonstration projects, the potential consequences of Carbon storage, and how the DOE is managing risks related to carbon management projects. 

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) 
Learn how combined heat and power can increase energy efficiency, play a role in decarbonization, and learn about the DOE’s CHP deployment program. 

Electrification
Take a deeper look at what the U.S. economy needs to do, considering electrification, to meet the climate target of 1.5-2 degrees and the U.S. total energy flow broken down by sectors.   

Energy Efficiency 
Rethink energy efficiency by using integrative designs or retrofitting designs and the different paths to decarbonize process heat. 

Energy Management & Information Systems (EMIS) 
Get a refresher on EMIS applications and hear about multiple value streams that EMIS bring to building decarbonization efforts. 

Financing Decarbonization 
The September 2022 Low Carbon Pilot Peer Exchange call covered the topic of Financing Decarbonization. 

Greening of the Grid 
Take a deeper look at the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s electricity market projects through 2050 and the U.S. Clean Power market outlook on a 10-year horizon. 

Heat Pumps 
Learn about heat pumps and how they can contribute to decarbonization. Get a better understanding of how they work, and some examples on how to implement this technology.  

Heavy-Duty Fleet Decarbonization 
Look at North American Council for Freight Efficiency’s goals to decarbonize trucks, fleets, and freights, results from case studies testing long haul trucks, regional haul trucks, and battery electric vehicles, and the fleet electrification waves. 

HVAC Retrofits 
Learn how to look at a building's energy profile more broadly and HVAC's contributions. See various heat pump applications that can be implemented today to decarbonize commercial HVAC systems. 

Hydrogen 
See how hydrogen can play a bigger role in the decarbonization of plants and buildings, and how piloting technologies can help. 

Industrial Application Heat Pumps 
Take a deeper look at understanding the impact of industrial heat pumps, case studies conducted in the industrial groups of paper, food, and chemical, and learn when industrial heat pumps should be used. 

Legislative Update 
Learn how new laws such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are revolutionizing the U.S. Energy sector and how the Investment Tax Credit is being used to fund different energy projects. 

New Construction 
See how Ford’s global environmental strategies are tackling new construction with Ford’s Blue Oval City’s master utility concept, system design, assembly plant energy transformation, and the design strategy for value creation. 

Off-site Renewables 
Understand the impact of Renewable Energy, the supply options for Green Power, and Cummins’ initiatives to reduce greenhouse emissions. 

Plug & Process Loads 
Listen in on how to integrate plug and process loads into the energy efficiency piece of a decarbonization strategy. 

Renewable Natural Gas 
Take a deeper look at Renewable Thermal Collaborative’s Renewable Natural Gas’ (RNG) work, the benefits and challenges of using RNG, and incentivizing methane emission reductions to reduce global warming.
