Cutting Carbon

Ep. 5: Electricity, Hold the Carbon

Episode Summary

We don't have to invent new technology to begin to combat climate change today. Gas-fired generation is flexible, affordable, reliable, and produces less than half CO2 of coal, while coal-to-gas switching represents a fast and effective win for emissions reduction. But, what technology options exist for gas turbines to reduce carbon emissions. 

Episode Notes

We don't have to invent new technology to begin to combat climate change today. Gas-fired generation is flexible, affordable, reliable, and produces less than half CO2 of coal, while coal-to-gas switching represents a fast and effective win for emissions reduction. But, what technology options exist for gas turbines to reduce carbon emissions.  

Jeff and Brian talk about the use of hydrogen as a power generation fuel and the potential for carbon capture technology to be applied to power plants.
