EI’s Robbie Orvis says a new Biden Administration can use clean energy policies that reduce emissions to also create jobs and spur economic recovery.

EI’s Amanda Myers notes the transportation sector is responsible for more than 15 percent of annual global emissions, contributing more than the entire electricity generation sector in the U.S. and U.K., and has the fastest growing emissions worldwide.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says over the past five years there has been a tidal shift from the global level to the local level toward renewables and electrification and this movement isn’t going away.

EI’s Mike O’Boyle says now is the time for the Department of Energy to invest in important future storage applications that can help solve renewable integration issues at very high penetrations of variable wind and solar energy.

EI’s Jeff Rissman says carbon reductions from blending 15 to 20 percent hydrogen in gas pipelines may be minimal, but increasing the market for green hydrogen might help drive down costs by incentivizing R&D.

EI report shows why utilities’ preference for gas-fueled plants is related to biases towards over-procurement of capacity and self-built generation, and an organizational culture and rate design that favor gas-fueled generation.

EI analysis found taking away California’s ability to set stricter pollution standards is expected to increase greenhouse gas emissions by millions of tons per year, and lead to drivers buying more than 2 billion additional barrels of petroleum a year.

EI analysis indicates reaching California’s new zero-emission goal could lead to a 9 percent increase in electricity demand by 2030 — and create the critical mass of electric vehicles required to better integrate EVs as grid resources.

EI’s Hal Harvey explains why carbon capture and storage will only play a niche role in decarbonizing the electricity sector due to cost and the limited emissions reductions it can achieve.

EI’s Chris Busch notes that legislation is preferable to executive orders when setting state climate policy, but that California’s legislature currently has competing priorities.
