Catalyst Blog by GTI Energy A Sandbox for Shaping Energy Systems Transitions

This story was originally published on Nov. 11, 2020.I had the opportunity to participate in the Energy Storage Association’s #ESACon20. Joined by Jeff St. John, Dr. Laura Nelson, and Ashkan Nassiri, I laid out my case for how GTI and the broader gases and fuels communities can partner with the energy storage community to create low-cost, low-carbon energy systems in 2030 and beyond.So often, we talk about energy in different silos — how will we decarbonize transportation? Our power […]

At GTI Energy, we are approaching this question from a systems perspective. As we consider how to achieve net-zero emissions by midcentury, while also fostering economic vitality and quality of life, our thinking is grounded in a clear-eyed appreciation for how energy systems work. Rather than focusing on a single sector, a single energy carrier, or a single technology, we are keeping the aperture wide. We’re thinking about energy transitions with curiosity about the innovations yet to come, […]

Companies and governments worldwide are facing mounting pressure to reduce emissions from methane, a potent climate pollutant. Yet, the landscape of methane emissions monitoring is rapidly evolving, unveiling numerous innovative technologies — from satellites to handheld sensors. These tools hold the promise of developing more accurate estimates of actual emissions, shifting away from conventional inventory calculations toward measurement-based inventories. As the energy industry embraces […]

At GTI Energy we think a lot about the importance of leveraging existing infrastructure in transitions to low-carbon, low-cost energy systems. The United States is poised to invest more than half a trillion dollars into clean energy and climate action over the next decade. Meeting growing demand for affordable energy while slashing emissions will require combining what we know works with innovations to prove new solutions. And putting these new solutions to work will require all sorts of […]

At GTI Energy, we believe that equitable and just energy systems transitions hinge on the passionate minds of the next generation of climate scientists, energy engineers and economists, and sustainability experts.One of the things I do for our organization is lead programs focused on empowering the emerging clean energy workforce and equipping the next generation with the skills and knowledge needed to create a lasting impact on lives, economies, and the environment.GTI Energy is committed to […]
