There are now billions of dollars in new federal funding available for energy storage, renewables and other forms of low-carbon power generation. From long-duration, utility-scale battery storage, carbon capture utilization and storage and hydrogen to long-standing clean power solutions like hydro and nuclear, the utility industry has a generational opportunity to move forward with unprecedented funding. In this webinar, you will learn how the funding will flow to federal agencies and states as well as how you can position your company to compete for some of those dollars.

Members of the Senate have introduced a plan that would revamp tax credits for new power plants, standalone storage, high-voltage transmission lines, distributed generation and carbon capture transactions. How would these tax credits impact energy storage projects? What does the opt-out option mean for the utilities market? We discuss how the proposed legislation could impact the future of renewable energy projects.

We are looking forward to continuing our Energy On Demand series by exploring carbon capture utilization and storage. During the webinar, Jerry Price, Stephanie Villarreal and John Hesemann will discuss 45Q tax credits, potential technologies, viability of geological sequestration and how to get started with carbon capture implementation.

As trends toward decarbonization and renewable generation gain steam, interest in hydrogen has reemerged as a potentially key technology in the evolution of the power industry. Join our webinar as Megan Reusser, Nick Lumley and Jane Newman-Ford discuss the many facets of hydrogen, as well as prospective end uses, market opportunities and technical considerations.

The EPA released its pre-publication Final ELG Rule on Aug. 31, 2020, addressing FGD wastewater and bottom ash transport water. What are the new dates, limits and requirements? In this webinar, we walk you through what to expect with the issuing of the final rule.

The EPA is keeping coal plant operators on high alert. CCR and ELG updates are both in progress, while designated electric generating units continue facing challenges from the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule. Utilities across the country are responding to requests and anxiously awaiting the final rules to resolve lingering questions about the future of their coal facilities. In this webinar, we provide a status update on the rules and their impacts. We also discuss current trends for plant modifications, ways to identify optimal baselines, prudent heat rate improvement/CO2 emissions reductions, and new CO2 emissions performance standards.

Our April webinar on energy storage generated so many great questions and feedback that Chris Ruckman and Jason Barmann are back with more. This new session examines operations and maintenance for energy storage, use cases and case studies for utility-scale implementation, and recycling considerations. We also discuss NFPA 855: Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems.

As renewable integration increases on the grid, operators are challenged to provide the flexible generation needed to accommodate significant up or down system load ramps and maintain system balance. Many ISOs are creating ancillary service markets that reward flexible generation. As a result, power producers are turning to reciprocating engine power plants to supplement renewable generation. This webinar discusses market trends, current technology and development considerations for reciprocating engine power plants designed to firm renewables.

The increasing penetration of renewables has impacted every part of the U.S. There are some regional differences in how renewables have influenced power markets, but one commonality is the opportunity this has created for fast-acting resources that can respond. Most of the discussion for the development of new fast-acting resources has been around adding battery storage. While there are several reasons it makes sense to consider batteries for this need, historically low gas prices have also made it plausible to consider gas turbines and RICE engines to fill this gap. This webinar will take a conceptual look at pairing solar with gas to evaluate the feasibility and potential benefits this solution could offer to various power markets.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a cost-effective, flexible fuel that has been around for a long time but is undergoing a renaissance in numerous applications. The options for storage and export have drawn renewed appreciation. In this webinar we give you a grounding in the basics, examine the design considerations involved, and explore the possibilities for storage and transportation.

Flow batteries and other technologies, both new and old, are competing for space in a rapidly dynamic storage market, while lithium-ion technology is advancing and prices are dropping. Which applications are suited to which technologies? And at what cost might longer-duration technologies compete? We discuss the market drivers, technology status and economics of flow batteries and other long-duration storage technologies.

With more wind and solar coming onto the grid, storage is the holy grail in energy. One of the prime movers in this energy transformation is the rapid advancement in battery storage technologies. In this webinar we explored the various technologies and potential applications.
