The role of natural gas in reaching net-zero emissions in the electric sector

J. E. T. Bistline and D. T. Young

This study by John E. T. Bistline and David T. Young explores how natural gas and carbon removal can drive down the costs of decarbonizing the electric sector in the U.S. Discover how wind and solar energy are expected to dominate generation shares over natural gas in most scenarios!

Abstract
This study assesses the potential role of natural gas and carbon removal in deeply decarbonized electricity systems in the U.S., evaluating the robustness of these insights to key technology and policy assumptions. The study finds that natural gas-fired generation can lower the cost of electric sector decarbonization, particularly when carbon removal is allowed, and that wind and solar will have higher generation shares than natural gas in most scenarios.
