I was lead author of a journal article recently published in Environmental Science and Technology which evaluates the effect of using low-emission natural gas production practices on the carbon footprint of power generation. We show that existing best practices and technologies fueling state-of-the-art combined cycle gas turbines with carbon capture and storage would have life cycle greenhouse gas emission intensity similar to renewable energy.

Highlights from a recent article published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy showing that hydrogen can be produced from natural gas with life cycle GHG emissions similar to renewable-powered electrolysis. The full article is available at: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2022.12.349.

Increased use of hydrogen as a low-carbon energy carrier is being included in the decarbonization strategies of many jurisdictions to mitigate a broad cross-section of emission sources such as transport, industry, electricity production, and heat. This blog will discuss some of the proposed sectors that are most likely to drive significant growth in hydrogen consumption.

In this blog, I am sharing an infographic and podcast based on a research paper that consolidated the findings of 53 different peer reviewed studies of household consumption habits to identify which options can have the greatest impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In this blog I will review the important potential for energy efficiency improvements to mitigate climate change and discuss some of the behavioural barriers inhibiting adoption of existing cost-effective technologies along with some possible solutions.
