How investments could improve California’s energy infrastructure
You’ve seen the stories everywhere: More investments will be needed to modernize energy infrastructure and advance a lower carbon future.
How can hydrogen help decarbonize economies?
Here’s what you need to know about hydrogen:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced the historic investment of $7 billion to fund the country’s first clean hydrogen hubs.
E-natural gas consortium could be gateway to lower carbon, more secure energy future
A more secure and cleaner energy future could be on the horizon with the recent announcement by Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra. Sempra Infrastructure plans to evaluate a possible Gulf Coast project that would produce around 130,000 tons of e-natural gas per year.
Tackling energy poverty with Switch Energy Alliance
Roopmati Meena knows energy poverty first-hand. Meena, a current Ph.D. student at IIT Bombay in India, grew up in Rajasthan where residents have difficulty accessing reliable and safe energy. Although the circumstances have improved over the years, Meena said there is still more work to be done.
The time is now to update and expand transmission infrastructure
Here’s why it’s crucial to act now:
The energy sector is at an inflection point where the promise of a lower-carbon future is within grasp. To reach ambitious climate goals, modernized transmission infrastructure is needed to get cleaner energy to those who need it. The reality is that to deliver reliable energy and meet the world’s net-zero goals — including in California by 2045 — significantly more transmission infrastructure is needed.
Shaping California’s clean hydrogen future
According to data from the Business Council for Sustainable Energy, interest in hydrogen is on the rise since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. The organization’s Sustainable Energy in America Factbook states, “Interest in ‘clean’ US hydrogen is growing. About 92MW of new electrolyzers were shipped in 2022, but the number is expected to be much more this year.”
