Markets, Resources, and Environmental and Energy Justice (MarkeRs-EEJ)

This project will support the development of CO2U technologies and a CO2U industry by assessing the resource and market potential and infrastructure requirements for midterm (-2030) and long-term (-2050) deployment of CO2U technologies, as well as evaluating implications on energy justice factors such as air quality, gross domestic product (GDP), and jobs. Addressing both of these topics enables the project to provide context that can be used across a large portfolio of CO2U technologies so stakeholders can make decisions informed by both economic and societal factors.

Electrification Futures Study

Through the Electrification Futures Study (EFS), NREL explored the impacts of widespread electrification in all U.S. economic sectors. For the multiyear study, NREL and its research partners - Electric Power Research Institute, Evolved Energy Research, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Northern Arizona University, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory - used multiple analytic tools and models to develop and assess electrification scenarios designed to quantify potential energy, economic, and environmental impacts to the U.S. power system and broader economy. This presentation summarizes the analysis and key findings from across the EFS publications, with a focus on the data and results that are most relevant - and of most interest - to the state of Montana.

Electrification Futures Study: Impact of Electric Vehicles on Bulk Power Systems

This presentation builds on work presented at IEW2019 on "Transportation Scenarios of Electric Technology Adoption and Power Consumption" by providing insights on the impact of demand-side electrification, and electric vehicles in particular, on electricity supply and bulk power systems. This talk summarizes some results from the multi-year and multi-stakeholder Electrification Futures Study (EFS) series of reports. In particular, this work leverages integrated demand and supply modelling of future energy systems to provide insights on system design and operations focusing on demand flexibility and integration of variable renewables.
