Optimizing Batteries for Grid Decarbonization

Case Study
LL20D

Energy storage is the lynchpin to a clean energy future. But today, energy storage is optimize to maximize money — not decarbonization. Join this session to hear about a collaboration that combines emerging technology and contract models to maximize emission benefits.

While the case study focuses on energy storage, the lessons are applicable to all deploying clean energy technologies. This model highlights how companies and stakeholders could ensure clean energy deployments are supporting rapid decarbonization.

How Corporations Are Tapping Into Hydrogen Hubs

Panel
LL20 B-C

Green hydrogen holds much promise. It could potentially help decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors, like heavy industry, and serve as a seasonal storage option for renewable energy. Yet today it is not cost-competitive. That may change thanks to new federal programs designed to spur forward new hydrogen hubs across the U.S. Join corporations, infrastructure leaders and technology providers to learn how more organizations are aiding in scaling the technology.

Why Your Next Procurement Should Be Geothermal

Panel
LL20D

Geothermal energy has great potential as a clean, firm energy resource — the holy grail for reaching deep decarbonization. Yet the technology has had relatively little growth over the last few decades. Corporations and governments can help change that through procurements to spur forward this market. This session will cover advancements in geothermal technologies and highlight the work of early movers to help scale deployments and drive down costs.

The State of Nuclear Energy

Workshop
LL20B-C

Nuclear energy has had a tumultuous history. It has gone from being the fuel of the future in the 1950s to a controversial — and often shunned — energy source following high-profile failures. As we look to decarbonize the economy and search for clean, firm power sources, what role could nuclear power play? This session will share the story of the nuclear past, and what is possible in the future.
