The potential to achieve 100% sustainable-materials car tires is in sight, with an assist from mass balance supply chain bookkeeping.
Harvest Thermal is a company focused on electrifying home heating and hot water systems with its thermal storage heat pump technology. The system reduces homeowners’ energy costs and carbon emissions by shifting heat production to off-peak hours and optimizing energy use through stratified thermal storage and data-driven controls.
