Introduction Hydrogen has been dubbed the “Swiss army knife” of clean energy, given its potential to become a tool to cut emissions in key sectors, as well as to assert U.S. global energy leadership and increase our nation’s competitive edge. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), switching to low-emissions hydrogen in hard-to-abate sectors […]

The United States’ energy security has changed dramatically since U.S. imports peaked in 2007. As the U.S. continues to decarbonize and work towards net zero, many questions must be answered: At what pace and scale will the U.S. need to deploy clean energy technologies to achieve net zero emissions?

Introduction The United States’ agricultural sector is a global leader in productivity while directly producing about 10 percent of the nation’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In comparison, both China and India each have almost twice the emissions as the U.S. from their agricultural sectors. Some of this success is owed to the conservation programs […]

Achieving global decarbonization in the transportation sector is challenging. As policymakers charge forward with the implementation of policies that pick winners and losers when it comes to reducing emissions in the transportation industry, transportation leaders are feeling the gear pressure.
