The structure of technological learning: insights from water electrolysis for cost forecasting, policy, and strategy
Mohamed Atouife, Jesse Jenkins
Forecasting the cost evolution of emerging clean technologies is crucial for informed policy, investment, and decarbonization decisions, yet it remains deeply uncertain. Learning c…
How flexible do we need to be? Using electricity systems models to identify optimal designs for flexible carbon capture storage system for gas-fired power plants
Fangwei Cheng, Qian Luo, Jesse Jenkins
As the share of variable renewable energy in power systems grows, enhancing the operational flexibility of combined cycle gas turbines with carbon capture and storage (CCGT-CCS) be…
Are EVs Cleaner Than We Think? Evaluating Consequential Greenhouse Gas Emissions from EV Charging
Riti Bhandarkar, Qian Luo, Emil Dimanchev +1
While electrifying transportation eliminates tailpipe greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, electric vehicle (EV) adoption can create additional electricity sector emissions. To quantify…
Process and Policy Insights from an Intercomparison of Open Electricity System Capacity Expansion Models
Greg Schivley, Aurora Barone, Michael Blackhurst +8
This study performs a detailed intercomparison of four open-source electricity capacity expansion models - Temoa, Switch, GenX, and USENSYS - to evaluate 1) how closely the results…
Impacts of EPA's Finalized Power Plant Greenhouse Gas Standards
John Bistline, Aaron Bergman, Geoffrey Blanford +23
The Inflation Reduction Act subsidizes the deployment of clean electricity, hydrogen production, and carbon capture and storage, which could enable additional actions by other fede…
