Participants in the RFS2 use the EPA Moderated Transaction System (EMTS) to submit transactions. EMTS incorporates features that help establish a well-functioning and transparent market for RINs. The EMTS data flow supports the reporting of all RIN transactions including the generation, separation, purchase and sale, and retirement of RINs.
The heating and cooling of air and water are essential parts of our everyday lives, supporting our comfort, safety, and productivity. However, these services come at a cost, with approximately 44% of energy consumption in the United States directly attributable to heating and cooling.
A cooling tower is a specialized heat exchanger in which air and water are brought into direct contact with each other in order to reduce the water's temperature. As this occurs, a small volume of water is evaporated, reducing the temperature of the water being circulated through the tower. Water, which has been heated by an industrial process or in an air-conditioning condenser, is pumped to the cooling tower through pipes.
