We scanned renewable thermal solutions and listed vendors for each technology area.
Case Study · Technology Landscape
Selling clean heat like electricity.
A regulated gas and electric utility wanted to know if it could sell heat and steam the way it sells power. We mapped renewable thermal technologies and vendors and assessed which fit on or near customer sites.
The Client
The client is a regulated gas and electricity utility that also sells renewable energy to companies. It wanted to decarbonize industrial heat and steam for customers such as manufacturers, schools and hospitals.
The Challenge
Power is solved.
Now decarbonize heat.
Prescouter was asked to map technologies that use renewable energy to generate heat and steam on or near customer sites, and to inform the bankability of selling them.
-
Customers
Public and industrial
Municipalities, universities, hospitals.
-
Siting
On or near premise
Close to the customer’s site.
-
Business
Bankable heat sales
Selling heat like a commodity.
Our Approach
Scanning broadly, then diving deep on the best.
Deep dives
Selecttechnologies assessed in depth
Test the fit
We examined the most relevant technologies against the client’s decarbonization goals.
Intelligence briefs
2briefs delivered
Compare the economics
We compared firm size, temperature range, siting options and CAPEX for each technology.
The Outcome
A map of clean heat worth selling.
Prescouter delivered 2 intelligence briefs on the renewable thermal landscape and its notable firms. They compared firm size, delivered temperature, the potential for on or near premise deployment and the CAPEX of each technology, giving the client a clear basis for its next decisions.

To judge bankability.
Heat is a harder decarbonization challenge than power for many customers. Utilities that solve it can open a new line of business.
