The selected researcher will help identify the industries, industrial facilities and end-uses that offer the greatest opportunities for carbon reductions, energy efficiency, beneficial electrification and renewable energy for achieving the New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) 2050 goals and beyond. The research will be conducted in two phases leading to a comprehensive statewide industrial stock baseline. Phase One of the research will establish an industrial baseline using existing secondary data and research and identify key industrial subsectors and their energy-using equipment, operation and usage patterns, process heat loads, energy intensity, and penetration of clean energy equipment and practices. The term clean energy as used in this Request for Proposals (RFP) includes energy-efficient facility, production and process equipment, enhanced energy management systems and practices, beneficial electrification, and onsite and offsite renewable energy generation. Phase Two of the research will collect primary data through electronic surveys, phone interviews and site visits. Phase Two research will investigate New York industrial companies’ long-term carbon mitigation strategies and the role that reducing process heat loads will play in reducing their carbon footprint, and measure the New York industrial sector’s progress against the CLCPA 2050 carbon reduction and other goals.
