Abstract: The electricity sector is the linchpin in any path to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Electricity sector emissions must fall faster and deeper than any other sector, while simultaneously expanding to power greater shares of energy consumption in transportation, heating, industry and the production of clean fuels. How do we build the grid we need to decarbonize the economy? Prof. Jenkins will share insights from a decade of research on low-carbon electricity systems and pathways to a net-zero America and discuss novel methods…
