Electric power consumption by AI and other server farm functions is accelerating globally. Today's announcement of a $50 billion (yes, that's a B!) partnership between KKR and ECP (Energy Capital Partners) will do a lot to shape the future of this sector. At the LSU Institute for Energy Innovation, we are keenly interested in how power growth will affect the world's ability to lower carbon emissions. We see roles for both renewables like wind and solar, and for carbon capture and sequestration (#CCS) as natural gas will continue to be a major source for global power generation. We believe CCS can be done safely and effectively and we are developing the technologies and policies to make sure. We are also working to make sure solar and offshore wind can withstand hurricane-strength winds. The future of energy is here. #CarbonCapture #AI #ElectricPower #Energy #SolarPower #WindPower https://lnkd.in/gwG7MWYK

We look forward to working more with Andrew Jones and the team from Climate Interactive! Thank you!
🌍This past week, the LSU Institute for Energy Innovation was thrilled to host Andrew Jones, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Climate Interactive, for an impactful visit on October 22-23, 2024. Sponsored by the Institute for Energy Innovation, Jones engaged with local environmental justice groups, faculty, industry leaders, and students across various departments in a series of thought-provoking presentations and discussions. Jones and his team at Climate Interactive and MIT Sloan School of Management have developed the En-ROADS Climate Simulator, a powerful tool that enables global decision-makers to test and visualize future climate scenarios. From electrifying transportation to implementing carbon removal technologies, En-ROADS has been instrumental in shaping informed climate policies worldwide—including work with 128 members of the U.S. Congress prior to the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. Thank you, Andrew Jones, for sharing your invaluable insights on climate negotiations and engaging our LSU community in the critical discussion on climate action! 🌱 #ClimateInteractive #EnROADS #EnergyInnovation #LSU #ClimateSolutions #Sustainability

Resharing this insightful post from Andrew Buchanan at MAIA Analytics who served on panel on AI in energy with LSU Institute for Energy Innovation Director Brad Ives and Institute-funded researchers Dr. Frank Tsai and Dr. Z. George Xue.
Two weeks ago, I was fortunate to speak on the “AI In Energy” panel at the 2024 AI/ML Systems conference at Louisiana State University. I shared the panel with Dr. Frank Tsai and Dr. Z. George Xue, two innovative researchers in carbon sequestration and climatic oceanography, and was invited by Brad Ives with the LSU Institute for Energy Innovation. I’d like to share three lessons from the conference and reflect on how it’s shaped my approach to ML with my team at MAIA Analytics. First, while the climate concerns from scaling AI are legitimate, there exist many opportunities to apply AI to directly mitigate carbon emissions. For instance, numerical inverse modeling of hurricanes requires hours of processing time from a supercomputer center, but a well-trained ML model that can run on your laptop and complete the task in minutes. Rather than solely focusing on large foundation models, we should continue developing smaller, energy-efficient models fine-tuned for specific applications, which can deliver comparable results with a fraction of the computational cost. Secondly, I was surprised by the momentum from my fellow conference attendees, both in computing and earth sciences, to address the climate crisis at its source: on the ground of the economy. I sometimes feel like this is the crux of our job at MAIA Analytics––uncovering the drivers of commercial and industrial solar installation and making this information actionable for key players. We need to continue strengthening the bridge between academia and industry in computational and earth sciences, ensuring that research insights translate into practical solutions for sustainable energy adoption. Finally, the climate crisis presents a unifying challenge for the academy and industry alike. Louisiana has firsthand experience with extreme weather disasters, and my alma mater state of North Carolina has recently been affected by Hurricane Helene. I see a challenge in these tragedies, both to understand these rapidly shifting earth-systems processes and to address their root causes. At MAIA, we are committed to expanding the use of machine learning to drive the renewables industry forward, ensuring that communities across the US can leverage nascent public-private partnerships to build a green, resilient economy in the face of increasing uncertainty. I am excited to see where the Institute for Energy Innovation continues to move its platform for public-private dialogues, and I hope to see more organizations committed to the use of AI as a force for good against our generation’s greatest challenge.

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) report forecasts 5 to 19 million tons of #lithium available in brines in the Smackover formation in the region of Arkansas bordering Louisiana. Similar brine deposits are in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. As technologies are developed to extract lithium from brine in a cost-effective manner, the US will have an important source for this critical component of batteries for the electric vehicle and stationary power markets. #Batteries #EnergyStorage #AIML https://lnkd.in/g4buFyEr
