Due to its abundance of fossil fuel resources, southwestern Pennsylvania has a long history of substantial energy production, often at the expense of local environmental quality and economic diversity. A new report, produced by Strategen for the Ohio River Valley Institute, offers a new decarbonization pathway for the 10-county region, which would advance the local economy, boost employment, and reduce harmful, climate-warming emissions more effectively and at a lower cost than other pathways. This webinar was on December 12, 2022.

This webinar on September 13, 2022 from 9:00-10:30 AM PT aims to provide a platform to discuss and analyze the potential for green hydrogen (GH2) to rapidly displace fossil fuel use in industrialized economies, supported by the global decarbonization imperative and accelerated by skyrocketing prices for fossil fuels and energy security vulnerabilities. The varied use cases for GH2 to drive multi-sectoral decarbonization will also inform this segment.

The report authors of "The Peaker Problem: An Overview of Peaker Power Plant Facts and Impacts in Boston, Philadelphia, and Detroit” discuss in-depth the report findings and lessons learned on how to surmount the Peaker Problem and accelerate a clean and just energy transition.

Learn more about the value proposition of a Regulatory Sandbox from industry leaders, alongside an in-depth discussion of its applications and opportunities for a variety of innovative programs, including, for example, customer-centric approaches to EVs, distributed energy storage, and rooftop solar PV across the country.
