Location: via Zoom
Speaker: Dr. John Bistline
Topic: Powering Decarbonization: Strategies to Achieve Net-Zero Emissions in the Electric Sector and Beyond
Abstract: Many stakeholders—including cities and states, utilities and large corporations, and now federal policymakers—are setting targets for deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable energy system. This talk will summarize new analysis that explores scenarios for achieving net-zero emissions targets in the U.S. electric sector in the context of deep economy-wide decarbonization, considering the implications of how the target is defined, the timing of the target, the costs of the transformation, and interactions with the end-use sectors.
