"In my view, natural gas is not just a “bridge” fuel. It is key to meeting both today’s energy demand as well as projected growth in electrification and renewables—not to mention providing an immediate, low-cost, nonsubsidized solution to emissions reduction. We saw many years ago that the natural gas industry wasn’t being recognized for all that it was accomplishing with regard to emissions reduction. For example, 60 percent of US emissions reductions have come on the back of converting coal to natural gas–fired power generation." So when we think about impactful ways of reducing emissions, the things that are economically sustainable—such as putting a much-lower-cost fuel in place of a much heavier hydrocarbon fuel—are exactly what we ought to be going after first, instead of saying, “Well, it’s a fossil fuel, and therefore there’s no benefit to it.” #naturalgas #energytransition McKinsey & Company

"We're now moving at speed into the age of electricity, which will define the global energy system going forward and increasingly be based on clean sources of electricity," said Fatih Birol, the International Energy Agency's executive director. We've seen these trends firsthand as the energy industry looks to make the grid more reliable, more efficient, and more secure. And as infrastructure is renovated or replaced, we will be here to enhance or upgrade existing modular buildings to support those changes. #buildings #energy #grid #gridsecurity #integration #modularbuildings #TeamParkline https://lnkd.in/gfTSvXxZ

"Clean power plants can supply enough near-term electricity to avoid building new fossil-gas-fired power plants or keeping coal plants open longer — but only if something is done about the grid backlog." Infrastructure upgrades can clear the path for a reliable, low-carbon grid powered by energy storage. Transmission planning and improvements are vitally important to the clean energy transition and this moment is pivotal; read more from Canary Media Inc.: https://lnkd.in/gWvuY5wY

Exciting news from the Golden State! California has crossed a significant threshold, boasting over 10,000 megawatts (MW) of #battery energy storage capacity, marking a remarkable 1,250% increase over the last five years. This surge underscores California's commitment to a clean energy future and its pivotal role in leading the charge towards sustainability. With batteries emerging as a cornerstone of the grid, California's ambitious goal of achieving 100% clean electricity by 2045 is well within reach. Developers are set to add a whopping 6,813 MW of battery storage capacity this year alone, a testament to the state's unwavering dedication to renewable energy. Governor Gavin Newsom hailed this achievement as a testament to California's energy storage revolution, emphasizing the crucial role it plays in transitioning away from fossil fuels towards a cleaner, more resilient grid. As battery energy storage continues to soar, California is poised to maintain a reliable power grid while maximizing the potential of renewable energy sources like solar. The future is bright for California as it paves the way for a greener, more sustainable tomorrow. #california #energystorage #renewableenergy #sustainability #cleanenergy #batterystorage #gridInnovation #solarpower #greentechnology

The role of #Naturalgas has become increasingly important worldwide, be it economically, politically or industry-specific. It is also playing an important role in #energytransistion. Natural gas become essential to the #energy system, and especially to the #powergrid. About 30 or 40 years ago, people knew it simply as the gas on your stove or in your residential furnace. 60 percent of US emissions reductions have come on the back of converting coal to natural gas-fired #power #generation. #isgproviderlens #powerandutilities #2024study

Fresh Energy and partners' modeling finds Xcel should build more renewables and storage and leverage existing power plants instead of overbuilding new gas “peaker” plants. Learn more.

As it turns out, we have a lot of natural gas, and we also have an increased demand of clean(er) consistent power generation. #natgas #powergen #growth #electrification

🔋 Building a Resilient, Clean Energy Grid 🌍 The U.S. power grid is evolving, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are essential to its future. BESS can help meet growing energy demand, support clean energy, and strengthen the grid against challenges ahead. In his latest blog, Brian Kane, Chief Projects Officer at Powin, shares insights on how modernizing the grid with BESS will build a more reliable and sustainable energy future.

#naturalgas insights from Alan Armstrong at Williams "In my view, natural gas is not just a “bridge” fuel. It is key to meeting both today’s energy demand as well as projected growth in electrification and renewables—not to mention providing an immediate, low-cost, nonsubsidized solution to emissions reduction. We saw many years ago that the natural gas industry wasn’t being recognized for all that it was accomplishing with regard to emissions reduction. For example, 60 percent of US emissions reductions have come on the back of converting coal to natural gas–fired power generation. Another example is the use of natural gas in transportation. Many shipping fleets today use residual oil. Replacing residual oil with natural gas reduces emissions in the shipping industry by about 2.4 times. Obviously, the bigger the application, the more impact it has." https://lnkd.in/eNFTNPaH

The journey to #decarbonization is complex, and as the latest Reuters article points out, reducing the U.S.'s reliance on gas-based power requires a significant increase in clean power generation, supported by a robust battery storage network.
