I've been working on energy innovation since 2008 because I believe it will help people around the world improve their lives. Developing new sources of clean energy allows us to both improve human welfare today and protect the planet for future generations.
One of the areas where there’s a lot of cool innovation going on is electricity. Wind and solar are reportedly generating more electricity than fossil fuels in the EU for the first time. We’re seeing a clear shift as the world’s electricity system is becoming more diverse, more innovative, and more dynamic than ever before.
Geothermal, fusion, and geologic hydrogen are especially promising, and earlier this year I explained why in a post I wrote from Texas.
The world’s emissions can be divided into five sectors. We must get to zero emissions in each one to meet our climate goals.
Electric vehicles and power plants get the most attention, but emissions come from lots of different human activities. The good news is that we are making progress across all five sectors.
