On August 6th, the Department of Energy (DOE) awarded $2.2 billion to eight energy projects aiming to upgrade and reinforce energy infrastructure across 18 U.S. states. This $2B energy infrastructure investment is designed to enhance the U.S. power grid's resilience against extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, elevated heat...
As the U.S. pursues a green energy transition, some of the most polluting industries are feeling the pressure to decarbonize. The aviation sector continues to rely heavily on fossil fuels to power flights, making it a hard-to-abate industry. As the sector strives to reduce and offset emissions, an increasing...
Robert Howarth's study claims LNG has a 33% larger emissions footprint than coal over 20 years, but its assumptions are controversial.
The debate centers around methane’s short-term potency vs. its lower concentration and quicker breakdown compared to CO2.
Industry experts argue that Howarth's conclusions are based on worst-case...
As the U.S. faces more severe hurricanes, the robustness of the country’s energy infrastructure is once again being called into question. During extreme weather events, residents across the most affected regions are often plunged into darkness, uncertain when their electricity will return.
