Hydrogen technology continues to garner interest as an effective tool to support the progress towards net-zero emissions and decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors. Recent developments include establishing a multi-year program plan to guide hydrogen innovation and selecting a consortium to help accelerate commercial liftoff of the clean hydrogen economy.
The notion that natural gas serves as a transition fuel to a low-carbon future has been challenged by a number of studies indicating that emissions of methane, the primary component of natural gas, significantly contributes to global warming. Methane is 80 times more potent than…Read the full report …...
The notion that natural gas serves as a transition fuel to a low-carbon future has been challenged by a number of studies indicating that emissions of methane, the primary component of natural gas, significantly contributes to global warming. Methane is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere over a 20-year period.

The U.S. electric grid is undergoing a significant transformation, with renewable energy sources accounting for an increasing share of the nation's electricity supply. To support this transition, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and various state regulatory commissions have recently announced a series of initiatives aimed at streamlining the deployment of clean energy technologies and improving grid reliability and resilience. Renewable generation accounted for as much as 21 percent of the U.S. electricity supply in 2023, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The Biden administration has been resolute in its efforts to integrate environmental justice and equity into agency operations. From launching the Environmental Justice Scorecard to allocating billions of dollars in funding for…Read the full report …...
