New Report Alert! EFI and @Ethree_inc are happy to announce our most recent study, Net-Zero New England: Ensuring Electricity Reliability in a Low-Carbon Future.
This report examines 
- what’s required to maintain electricity system reliability
in the context of reducing economy wide emissions to net-zero by mid-century 
- what’s required to maintain electricity system reliability
in the context of reducing economy wide emissions to net-zero by mid-century
Why does electricity reliability matter? Here are the facts:
electricity is anticipated to contribute a growing
share of energy to transportation & heating, critical
energy services for the particularly cold region
electricity is anticipated to contribute a growing share of energy to transportation & heating, critical
energy services for the particularly cold region
Follow our thread to look at the seven key findings 
Decarbonizing New England requires transformational change in all energy end-use sectors 
Electricity demand will increase significantly 
in New England over the next three decades under the net-zero scenarios studied
Renewable electricity generation will play a major role in providing 
carbon energy to the region
A cost-effective, reliable, & decarbonized grid requires firm generating capacity, such as gas 
or nuclear 
generation, potentially with increased reliance on zero or low carbon fuels such as hydrogen
A broader range of technology choices lowers costs 
+ technology risks 
Achieving net emissions requires carbon dioxide removal (CDR) & New England’s extensive stock of healthy forests 
and local forest management 
expertise provide an ideal 
opportunity for CDR
Achieving the commercialization of emerging technologies can be aided by leveraging regional innovation capacity
