We recently spoke at Portland General Electric’s (PGE) Integrated Resource Planning Roundtable about our ongoing Decarbonization Study, which explores how PGE’s service territory can transition towards a low-carbon economy over the coming decades. We presented three pathways to deep decarbonization for PGE’s service territory, and discussed the

I spoke recently at the International Conference on Energy Systems Integration held at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado. The subject of the talk was the imperative to pursue electric sector coupling opportunities (direct electrification and electric fuels production) as a strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This
