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

As the world races toward decarbonization, low-carbon hydrogen continues to emerge as a fuel brimming with potential. Beyond its use as a clean fuel, hydrogen’s unique value lies in its ability to store energy from renewable sources, which is critical for ensuring uninterrupted, affordable, and secure energy.Achieving a reality where hydrogen can be used viably, successfully, and extensively will require a major change in how we store it. To unlock hydrogen’s full potential, we’ll need […]

COP28 produces new climate pledges from oil and gas companies. We’re leaning into the tough next step: keeping them.We’re used to hearing pledges and targets at the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP). It usually promises a new slate of international partnerships and collaborations. As I walked the avenues in Dubai, this year seemed different, like it was the starting gun in our fight against climate change.More than 50 companies representing 40% of global oil and gas […]

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 […]
