Ep. 17: Direct Air Capture Jul 22, 2021

It's easy to assume that releasing carbon into the atmosphere is similar to squeezing toothpaste out of the tube and not being able to put it back in. That there might not be an easy solution to suck it up and put it into a 'tube.' However, we discuss how this might be wrong. Today, our hosts Jeff and Brian will talk about the technologies that may have the ability to reverse climate change.

Ep. 12: Lessons from Texas Mar 30, 2021

The February 2021 winter storm in Texas that left millions of people without power was a tragedy. Brian and Jeff discuss what happened to both electricity supply and demand in Texas leading up to, and during the crisis.

Examining what happened provides an opportunity to reflect on how we might prevent similar situations from happening in the future, especially as we may be become more reliant on a few sources of electricity.

Ep. 10: Carbon in = Carbon Out Mar 30, 2021

The use of capture technologies to abate carbon emissions depends on our ability to use or store CO2. The good news is that the geological storage of CO2 has been ongoing for decades.

Our guest, Chris Consoli, a senior consultant at the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute (GCCSI), explains the geological science behind carbon capture. Chris provides technical details, key statistics, and real world examples.

Ep. 9: Carbon Capture: Finding the Red Marbles Mar 30, 2021

Imagine operating a power plant on traditional fuels, like natural gas or LNG, but with reduced carbon emissions. This is the potential impact of post-combustion carbon capture technologies. These systems, when applied to power plants, can remove (or capture) large portions of the CO2 that would otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere.

Our guest, John Catillaz, Decarbonization Marketing Director for GE Gas Power, joins us for a discussion on this technology. John explains how this technology works, and provides the information on the broader context of carbon capture utilization and sequestration (CCUS).

Ep. 8: Gas To Power with H2 Mar 30, 2021

Hydrogen may be a fuel of the future, but there are multiple steps to developing a hydrogen economy. Once hydrogen is produced it needs to be stored and transported. Then there are the potential issues in the end use of hydrogen as a fuel that must be considered.

In this episode, Brian and Jeff welcome John Intile, VP of Engineering for GE Gas Power, for a discussion on the use of hydrogen as fuel for gas turbines. Since hydrogen has very different physical and chemical properties relative to methane (the main component in natural gas and LNG), John provides insights into GE's experience with hydrogen and potential impact to a power plant configuration. Additionally, the team discusses the implications to the transportation and storage of hydrogen for power generation.

Ep. 7: The Hydrogen Rainbow Mar 30, 2021

Decarbonizing transportation, heavy industry, and power may require low or zero carbon fuels. Hydrogen is a popular favorite, and there are multiple technologies available that produce hydrogen for power generation applications. But, they are typically described by a color instead of the actual production method. Here's your secret decoder:

>Grey = hydrogen produced from fossil fuels, typically natural gas

>Blue = Grey hydrogen systems with the addition of carbon capture

>Green = hydrogen produced via electrolysis of water using renewable electricity

>Pink (red) = hydrogen produced via electrolysis of water with heat and/or electricity from a nuclear plant

>Turquoise = hydrogen produced via pyrolysis of methane

>White = hydrogen produced from biomass

Jeff and Brian discuss these production pathways along with their challenges and requirements.

Ep. 6: Gas Turbines are Awesome Dec 04, 2020

Did you know that a gas turbine sucks in enough air to fill a Goodyear blimp in ~10 seconds? Our guest Dr. Jacqueline O’Connor, Director of the Penn State Center for Gas Turbine Research, Education and Outreach (https://sites.psu.edu/gtreo/) at The Pennsylvania State University, explains the main components of a gas turbine and how these amazing machines manage one of the most extreme environments that human engineers have developed.

Ep. 5: Electricity, Hold the Carbon Dec 04, 2020

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.

Ep. 3: Renewables Need Friends Dec 04, 2020

Decarbonizing power is a team sport. Today, there is still a billion people in the world without electricity. A tremendous amount of power is needed to electrify the world, and it grows about a 1.5% growth rate yearly. By 2050 the world will need approximately 42,000 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity, adding about 400 TWh of additional power every year: twice as much electricity as California generates today.

Can this all be done by renewables? Renewables over the last 20 years have seen a massive growth. This continued growth could lead to wind and solar being 50% of total electricity generation by 2050. But where will the other 50% come from?

In this episode Brian and Jeff explore this paradox with Vic Abate, GE's Chief Technology Officer and the CEO of GE Research.

Ep 2: Carbon Emissions: All Needles, No Haystacks Dec 04, 2020

Carbon emissions are prevalent in multiple industries, not just power. Our guest, Neva Espinoza, Vice President, Energy Supply and Low-Carbon Resources at the Electric Power Research Institute, discusses how industry, transportation, and agriculture all contribute to global CO2 emissions. The path towards a decarbonized future may include increased energy efficiency, electrification, and the development of solutions for hard to decarbonize sectors.
