We are very excited to launch the new Center for Energy and Environmental Systems Analysis, The University of Texas at Austin! It's a privilege to be part of this team. They are some of the leading scientists, engineers, and analysts working on GHG emissions monitoring and mitigation across oil and gas supply chains. My own work will focus on methane policy, regulations and the impact on global LNG, as well as macro trends in global energy. Lots more to come soon. Check the CEESA site for details on recent project awards, and follow us for updates on publications and events.

This week U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO) hosted a workshop seeking input on the pathways to decarbonizing industries. ??A key fact framing the workshop was that 60% of emissions reduction needed to achieve net-zero in heavy industries by 2050 will come from technologies that don’t yet exist or are in the development pipeline. ?? IEDO announced the launch of a new vision study looking at the barriers, pathways, frameworks and sector-specific solutions to scaling decarbonization in the industrial sector, building on DOE’s industrial decarbonization roadmap and commercial liftoff reports. It was wonderful to join colleagues from across industry, academia, and civil society (including our friends at Great Plains Institute) at the workshop to discuss challenges and solutions that will feed into the study. Those who weren’t there can still engage by responding to a Request for Information to inform the study (deadline June 10th). https://lnkd.in/eU9wRvUy I’m looking forward to continued engagement and the findings of this study that has the potential to frame U.S. industrial decarbonization priorities for the next few decades.

Lehigh is among the universities sharing a total of $12 million awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to broaden marine energy research within the Atlantic Marine Energy Center. At Lehigh, the funding will propel two large faculty research projects and six new summer courses related to infrastructure, technological development, and marine energy instrumentation. This grant is a major step toward unlocking new research areas and advancing sustainable energy!

I have spent the entire day at Institute of Energy Studies and Research meeting Engineers and other senior staff members on a stakeholder engagement on potential areas of collaboration Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. This institute is Kenya’s Premier Research Institute that informs majority of Kenya Power’s research problems. The institution sits on extremely critical data whose release to researchers can contribute substantially to understanding energy problems that will not only help the institution, but also other stakeholders in the power sector. The data can be used to solve challenges like grid management and optimization, energy consumption forecasting, energy efficiency and conservation, market analysis, environmental impact analysis, power distribution and load balancing analysis, consumer service among many others. While the institution collects these data, much of it hasn’t been put into use as to benefit the institution. The result of not utilizing data properly in modern world is exposure to inefficiencies and cost overloads that can be easily minimized.

Join us for a seminar on "Reconciling Social Discounting and Empirical Capital Cost Estimates in Energy and Climate Models," where Christoph Weber from the University of Duisburg-Essen will discuss approaches to integrating differentiated capital costs into energy system models, with a focus on policy implications and a case study of Germany's capacity expansion. ??Fri, 14 June ??11:30 Register: https://lnkd.in/d5WvVzcf Abstract:? It is common practice to use linear optimization approaches with a single, uniform discount rate in energy system modelling. This is also consistent with the standard central planner interpretation of such models. At the same time, it is well known that outcomes of appropriately formulated optimization models may be interpreted as competitive market equilibria. Empirical evidence yet suggests that investors in energy markets face differentiated capital costs (e.g. Steffen 2020, Polzin et al. 2021) depending on technology, market and investor characteristics. There have been pragmatic approaches to incorporate such differentiated capital costs into energy system models (e.g. Loulou et al. 2016, Tash et al. 2019, Lonergan et al. 2023). Through a thorough analysis of KKT conditions, a theoretically consistent solution may yet be established with succinct and explainable economic features. We illustrate the approach with a stylized application to capacity expansion in Germany and discuss how the outcomes may be linked to standard results. Also the implications for energy and climate policy are highlighted. Organized by Hongyu Zhang, and Emil Dimanchev. #EnergyTransition #EnergyModeling NTNU Energy Department of Electric Energy Anne F.

#ICYMI Our Energy Policy Advisory Council Member Dr. Arvind Ravikumar is the new Co-Director of the Center for Energy and Environmental Systems Analysis, The University of Texas at Austin (CEESA). CEESA will serve as a central hub for interdisciplinary research and education focused on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions monitoring, mitigation, and policy. The Center will bring together several ongoing, large-scale projects, including the?Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab, also co-led by Dr. Ravikumar,?and will also host recent Department of Energy awards granted to UT for reducing GHG emissions across the oil and gas supply chain. “Global natural gas buyers are increasingly demanding reduced greenhouse gas emissions across the supply chains that produce, process, and transport natural gas,” said Dr. Arvind Ravikumar, CEESA Co-Director and?Assistant Professor in the Hildebrand Department Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering at UT Austin. “For the first time, we’ll be able to develop an accurate national emissions picture, and reduce emissions at the same time,”??said Dr. Ravikumar, who also serves as the principal investigator for the Northeastern U.S. regional center. ?

???? How can we make energy research more inclusive and impactful? Mathilde Rainard and colleagues explore how intersectionality can help make energy research more fair and relevant to real-world challenges. Key takeaways: ?? Intersectionality offers a powerful lens to address inequalities in energy transitions. ?? Practical guidance is shared for researchers and policymakers to apply this approach. ?? A call to action: Energy justice must go beyond theory and focus on meaningful change. ?? Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/d9ajnvht
