All major electric grids create carbon emissions – and all will continue to do so until they are supported 100% by renewable or nuclear generation. Until then, any solution that reduces grid load by increasing efficiency is a step toward decarbonization, insofar as decarbonization means less reliance on fossil fuels. Turbine inlet cooling, or TIC, when applied to district energy generation, is one such solution.
Read more about how TECO utilizes TIC to support customers in the Texas Medical Center in a recent article published by the International District Energy Association’s District Energy magazine.
