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

This article was conceived with input from GTI Energy experts and project leads, Brian Weeks, Ted Barnes, and Nico Bouwkamp.The work to scale and deploy hydrogen as an energy transition solution is well underway. Historic federal investments and expected tax incentives in the U.S. have led to increased innovation and a push to adopt hydrogen technologies rapidly. Fortunately, GTI Energy is already deeply involved.Our experience with advancing the hydrogen economy through expansive networks of […]

This is the first blog in a series examining net-zero energy systems, drawing upon the results of our Meta-Analysis of U.S. Economy-Wide Decarbonization Studies (Meta NZ).How do we move with speed and scale to transition the U.S. economy to net-zero by midcentury? To begin to answer this question, it’s helpful to understand what net-zero energy systems look like. That’s what we set out to do in Meta NZ, a meta-analysis of prominent U.S. economy-wide, net-zero studies.This collaborative […]

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 […]
