Nuclear in Its AI Era | The Cost of Repowering Three Mile Island
The rapid growth of AI has created a surging demand for data centers. Tech giants like Microsoft, Google and Amazon are seeking reliable, low-carbon electricity to power future data processing hubs.
LCFS Price Forecast – Credit Bank Rises Sky High
With the recent surge of renewable fuel adoption in California, we have analyzed and updated our long-term price forecast for low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) credits using the latest two quarters of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) data.
Long-Term Capacity Expansion | Building for the Future
Over the last century, power demand and supply have been unmistakably intertwined. However, with the addition of variable renewable power this is no longer the case.
Electric Vehicle | Impact on Load Growth
Current EV charging behavior causes a peak in load during late evening hours when motorists return home and plug in their vehicles.
The Methane Fee Plot Twist That Could Double Your Liability
Petroleum systems lose natural gas to the atmosphere in many ways that have drawn a laser focus from regulators seeking to stem the impact of greenhouse gases on global warming.
Multi-Gigawatt Data Centers | Making Nuclear Great Again
Last week, OpenAI reportedly pitched the White House on constructing 5 GW datacenters. But what does that really mean in practical terms?
Decoding Success| EIR Identifies CCUS Project Winners
The carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) industry has experienced a surge in project announcements, but many of these projects have experienced delays or cancellations.
CCUS | A Sink for Carbon and Electricity
Increasing demand for renewable energy is not only driven by data centers, cryptocurrency mining, green hydrogen and manufacturing but also by carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), which is often overlooked. Recent developments highlight this competition: CarbonCapture withdrew its Bison direct air capture (DAC) project in Wyoming because of concerns about securing sufficient emissions-free energy […]
Data center growth a boon for gas transmission companies
Data center developers in the past have shown keen interest in utilizing renewable energy but are starting to prioritize speed and reliability, providing growth opportunities to midstream gas transmission companies with large pipeline networks.
Computational Demand Growth | Jiving With Jevons
The surge in electricity usage fueled by the need for data centers might not be as substantial as originally thought. When examining the log-log relationship between annual information consumption (measured in exabytes) and data-center power efficiency (expressed in exabytes per terawatt-hour), we observe that projecting efficiency gains into our model shows virtually no deviation from […]
