A report from 3 US agencies examines various hybrid system configurations to identify opportunities for NZHPs and economically-viable configurations. The report from the Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis, Idaho National Laboratory and National Renewable Energy Laboratory, (Generation & Use of Thermal Energy in the U.S. Industrial Sector & Opportunities to Reduce its Carbon Emissions) identify key GHG emission sources in the industrial sector and propose low-emitting alternatives for industrial heat. The study focuses on 14 industries where 960 plants represent <0.5% of all manufacturing in the US but emit 25% of all industrial sector emissions (5% of total US GHG emissions in 2014). The report identifies non-GHG-emitting thermal energy sources that could be used to generate non-emission heat, including geothermal, and identifies potential opportunities and implementation challenges, and proposes analyses to identify approaches to overcome the challenges.
