EI research finds that coal-fired power plants are uncompetitive against clean energy and energy storage in nearly every state in America.

The technology we need to transition to a clean economy exists, Jeff Rissman’s book Zero Carbon Industry provides the roadmap for decarbonizing the industrial sector.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains that although there is technology available to burn hydrogen in a gas turbine, it is not widespread yet.

EI’s Jeff Rissman explains how thermal batteries can reduce energy costs since they bypass surcharges that are built into grid electricity rates.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle explains that short-term investments by utilities should prioritize low-regrets, flexible options that avoid locking in expensive and potentially stranded assets

Jeff Rissman’s Zero-Carbon Industry outlines the technologies and policies that combat the rise in greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial sector.

Approximately 30 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions produced in the U.S. comes from industry, Jeff Rissman discusses how we can decarbonize this sector.

EI forecasts that the Biden administration’s historical and projected policies will have annual U.S. emissions decline to reach the 2030 goal.

EI’s Silvio Marcacci explains that the U.S. must expand and strengthen the grid, and reconductoring transmission lines with advanced conductors can be the solution.

EI analysis suggests policymakers to: provide utilities incentives to use advanced conductors, improve transmission planning, expand federal and state funding.

EI’s Chris Busch explains how the recent EPA standards to cut air pollution from heavy-duty vehicles will pave the way for cheaper goods, increased domestic manufacturing, and job growth.

EI’s Jeff Rissman emphasizes that decarbonizing industry is feasible and underscores the importance of understanding the interconnectedness of technology and policy.

EI research finds that the majority of the U.S. struggles to add new clean energy resources fast enough to replace retiring assets.

The EPA announced a final rule on “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles,” which is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions up to 60 percent in 2032.

EI’s Jeff Rissman explains that although we have the technology that can produce all the goods we rely on without greenhouse gas emissions, the demand to commercialize these technologies has been low.

EI research finds that public utility commissioners should avoid building new natural gas plants, and suggests that they focus their attention on expanding transmission.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle calls regulations on coal facilities and new gas plants significant, adding that they would act as a guardrail on utilities.

New research indicates that constructing new gas power plants may not be the most effective short-term solution for addressing load growth. Instead, the report suggests alternative options such as demand response programs and grid-enhancing technologies.

EI’s Eric Gimon weighs in on microreactors and discusses the potential of nuclear reactors to diversify energy portfolios.

EI’s Sonia Aggarwal explains how investing in clean energy will create jobs, improve air quality, and allow the U.S. to meet the rising electricity demand.
