Matt Lensink & Lisa Katz on Cleaning Up Thermal Power Ep.68
We don't spend a lot of time talking about thermal energy on the Clean Power Hour, but it’s a thing! And a lot of industrial and institutional processes require high-grade thermal power. We need it to heat hospitals and university campuses, for example, or to power food and beverage manufacturing plants. So, what can we do to accelerate the decarbonization of thermal energy?
Matt Lensink and Lisa Katz are the CEO and Director of Business Development & Marketing, respectively, at CEM Engineering, a thermal power consulting firm specializing in cogeneration and energy management solutions. CEM is committed to cleaning up thermal power throughout North America, helping clients implement the best technology-based solutions to achieve their energy cost savings and CO2 reduction targets. Matt and Lisa also serve as hosts of the popular Energy Radio Podcast.
On this episode of Clean Power Hour, Matt and Lisa join Tim to explain why it’s crucial to clean up thermal power and how CEM is evolving into the renewable energy space. They describe how carbon tax increases are driving positive change and discuss their new partnership with Absolicon to advance solar-thermal energy applications. Listen in for Matt and Lisa’s insight around the hydrogen-based technology projects being considered in Canada right now and learn about the different energy technologies we’re using to decarbonize thermal power.
