Sharing our experiences planning for CO2 free systems
The whole idea of “carbon-free” seems impossible when you realize that ~65% of our planet’s electricity comes from burning fossil fuels. However, there are examples around the world of regions integrating record levels of carbon-free wind and solar energy by utilizing numerous forms of flexibility in their system. GE Energy Consulting uses a holistic systems approach with industry partners to enable new carbon reduction milestones.
