Are you interested in the use of solar thermal solutions to reduce your reliance on LPG and furnace oil?
Take EAI’s assistance to understand how to take the next steps
The Opportunity
With the increasing prices of fossil fuels such as LPG, Furnace Oil and Diesel, industrial enterprises who use these fuels for their heating are finding themselves increasingly at risk of unaffordable energy costs.
With significant innovations happening on the solar thermal technology frontier, solar thermal in its different variants is becoming increasingly feasible to be used as an alternative to fossil fuels for medium temperature heating, up to about 200°C.
For a large scale user of furnace oil or LPG, solar thermal is thus an interesting alternative to be explored.
