At the end of October, Absolicon participated in the Renewable Thermal Collaborative (RTC) in Washington, an annual forum where the world’s largest industrial companies meet with technology providers and policymakers to discuss the transition to renewable heat. Absolicon was one of the first sponsors and is now a well-known participant among representatives of major corporations.
