The Evolving Technology Landscape for Gas-Fired Electricity Generation

Reducing emissions from the electricity sector requires a shift to low- and zero-emitting technologies over time. Join the Conveners’ Network for a webinar exploring low- and zero-carbon technologies available for natural gas-fired electricity generation.
    
This webinar is co-sponsored by the Center for the New Energy Economy, Duke University’s Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, the Great Plains Institute, and the Harvard Environmental and Energy Law Program. These organizations, along with the Georgetown Climate Center, work together as the Conveners’ Network, to help states and their stakeholders address the energy and environmental challenges associated with the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Tim Profeta, Special Advisor to the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, will discuss the Agency’s recently released paper exploring gas technology options.

Lynn Brickett, Director for the Point Source Carbon Capture Program, U.S. Department of Energy’s Carbon Management Office, will outline DOE efforts to advance various technology pathways for gas generation.

Damian Beauchamp, President and Chief Development Officer, 8 Rivers, and Board Member, NetPower, will report on the status of the Allam-Fetvedt Cycle and 8RH2 technology and four projects under development.

Jeff Lyng, Area Vice President, Xcel Energy, will focus on the future of gas turbines in Xcel’s service territories and the use of hydrogen.

James Henahan, Senior Vice President of Commercial Analytics, Calpine Corporation, will cover Calpine’s efforts to retrofit an existing gas plant with carbon capture technology.
