The Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration (EIA) is one of the go-to sources for reliable information about the US power sector. They just released their 2022 “Annual Energy Outlook” (AEO), which is a big deal: it tells us where electricity is headed over the next 30 years. It’s widely viewed as the “gold standard” for energy projections, even though there’s much debate in the energy community about the validity of the assumptions behind these projections.
Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions
In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

Want to take part in this webinar? Join the audience. Chemical synthesis is responsible for the significant emission of carbon dioxide worldwide. These emissions arise not only due to the energy requirements of chemical synthesis, but because hydrocarbon feedstocks can be overoxidized or used as hydrogen sources. Using renewable electricity to drive chemical synthesis may provide a route to overcoming these challenges, enabling synthetic routes that operate at benign conditions and utilize susta

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a central tool in the diagnosis and management of neurological conditions. The growing demand for head MRI exams, however, combined with a global shortage of radiologists, has produced year-on-year increases in the time taken to report scan findings. Delays in reporting can cause delays in treatment, resulting in poorer patient outcomes and increased healthcare costs.

Injecting aerosols into the stratosphere at 25 km altitude to mitigate global warming is not as cost efficient as injection at 20 km. That is the conclusion of scientists in the US, who have looked at five possible ways that the aerosols could be delivered to the stratosphere – including modifying a supersonic reconnaissance aircraft and firing “mortar shells” of material from a modified passenger jet aircraft.
