In the wake of the 2019 United Nations Climate Summit and being
awarded the 2019 Champions of the Earth Award by the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP), the Costa Rican Institute of
Electricity (ICE) has recognized Chromalox as the preferred partner
for utilizing its renewable energy for carbon-free industrial steam
and heating applications. On Oct. 24, 2019, Chromalox, in
conjunction with the ICE, CFS, and Spirax Sarco, finalized the
partnership to utilize electric heating as part of the plan to
"decarbonize" the country by 2050. Earlier this year, Costa Rica
announced an economy-wide plan to generate 100% of its power from
renewable sources.

Last week's event brought together Costa Rica's largest industrial
steam and heat users to hear Chromalox present on their electric
heating technology, specifically DirectConnect(TM) medium voltage,
and teach about the advantages of electric heating over fuel-fired
sources. Chromalox's parent company Spirax Sarco also presented on
their expertise in steam management and role in Costa Rican steam
usage and maintenance. The transition to an electric mobility
economy as a part of the nation's decarbonization efforts was also
discussed.
The majority of industrial steam and heat currently used in
commercial and industrial facilities is generated from burning
fossil fuels. Zero-emission steam and heat production provides a
critical pathway towards eliminating the nation's emissions over
time. For a country that is aiming to run on 100% renewable power,
the logical step is to use electricity, and in particular, to
leverage DirectConnect(TM) medium voltage heating technology for
large industrial applications.
"Chromalox is proud to be part of a movement towards a zero-carbon
footprint for Costa Rica," said Christopher Molnar, Vice President
of Global Product Marketing and Engineering for Chromalox. "Costa
Rica is a global leader in advancing the charge towards a
sustainable future. The work we are doing in partnership with both
public entities and private industry in Costa Rica paves the way
for other nations to follow."
