The Renewable Heat Industrial Decarbonisation (RHID) Program has been established to assist companies to navigate the initial ‘discovery’ phase of their thermal decarbonisation Journey.
This is achieved through provision of objective information to companies on:
- What type of energy they need for process heat applications at what specific time of day
- How best to generate the required renewable heat, when and with what technologies
- How best to utilise low-cost renewable energy inputs for on-site operations (day and night)
- What technology options deliver the best return on investment
- What options can be integrated with minimal impact on operational risk
- Technoeconomic analysis of technology options and site impacts
- Hybridised energy solutions based on a site’s economic, operational and sustainability drivers
- Energy costs moving forward and how this might influence technology choice
- How to optimise heat capture / storage technologies to minimise energy costs
- What does a progressive deployment strategy look in terms of energy savings and risk trade-offs
The intent is to provide high quality information to facilitate effective decision making within companies.
Key program focus areas
- Net energy savings
- Low operational risk
- Low integration risk, with minimal process reengineering
- Improved operational reliability
- Reduced operating costs
- Progressive sustainability pathway
- Turnkey deployment
The RHID Program is Technology Agnostic (bioenergy, electrification, solar thermal, geothermal, clean fuels)
- Detailed assessment of all viable renewable heat technology pathways (bioenergy, electrification, solar thermal)
- Technology and supplier agnostic
- Focus on commercially available technology solutions
- Assessment based on site-specific operational requirements
- Detailed technoeconomic assessment based on real-world energy costs
- Provision of objective information to facilitate internal decision making
