ClearPath Leads Congressional Delegation to Houston, TX

Posted on May 4, 2023 by Emily Johnson and Grant Cummings

As the world increasingly turns towards clean energy solutions, the demand for carbon capture technology will only continue to grow. Fortunately, America has been abundantly blessed with vast natural resources — and the technology to make energy reliable, affordable, and clean.

A Road to Lower Emissions, Paved With Cement and Concrete Innovation

Posted on April 19, 2023 by Savita Bowman and 174

Cement and concrete are essential for products that are used in the daily lives of people across the world. They are used in everything from roads and highways to buildings and more. However, the cement and concrete industry is also seen as one of the most difficult to decarbonize sectors of our economy due to the carbon dioxide emissions released.

Fixing a Broken Energy Permitting System (Washington Times)

Posted on April 18, 2023 by Jeremy Harrell

America’s energy demands are rapidly increasing. Some estimates say the U.S. will need to double the capacity of our grid by 2050 if there is any chance of meeting net-zero goals.Financing and building enough clean energy infrastructure projects to keep up will not be easy. But under the current regulatory environment, it’s procedurally impossible.

Need for Speed: Removing Roadblocks for CO2 Pipelines and Wells

Posted on April 13, 2023 by Jonika Rathi and Spencer Nelson

Federal and private sector investments have unlocked exciting carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) development opportunities. Projects like the Lone Cypress Hydrogen Project in california, or the Air Products Clean Energy Complex in Louisiana plan to make hydrogen from natural gas while sequestering the carbon dioxide (CO2).

Carbon Capture Permit Backlog Threatens Climate Progress (Real Clear Energy)

Posted on March 21, 2023 by Rich Powell

America’s energy economy is at a reckoning point and we must not allow the vast domestic resources, nor the investments in new clean energy technologies, to be squandered. The 2022 energy tax incentives, along with the bipartisan infrastructure law of 2021 and increasing private sector investments in innovation have the potential to catapult U.S. clean energy projects and firmly establish American global leadership in clean energy deployment.

New Nuclear Energy Needs New Licensing Process

Posted on March 16, 2023 by Nicholas McMurray

Pencils down! The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff just published its draft proposed rule for licensing advanced nuclear reactors — over 1,000 pages of draft text for the NRC Commissioners to review and vote on. If crafted well, the licensing process known as Part 53 has the potential to be a 21st Century solution for the next generation of reactors.

Industrial Carbon Capture Jump Started in 2022

Posted on March 9, 2023 by Casey Kelly and Spencer Nelson

The industrial sector encompasses a vast array of energy-intensive processes and is the fastest growing source of emissions in the U.S. Therefore, low-carbon innovative solutions that don’t compromise productivity are essential. The suite of new or enhanced federal programs, investments, and incentives have demonstrably jump-started industrial decarbonization.

Antora Energy: Thermal Batteries Revolutionizing Industrial Decarbonization

Posted on March 8, 2023 by Rich Powell and Mitch Kersey

Roughly one-third of global emissions come from the manufacturing sector—more than electricity, agriculture, or transportation. By 2030, industrial facilities are expected to be the top source of U.S. emissions, too, exceeding those from both power plants and vehicles. Antora Energy has developed a way to store thermal energy and use it to deliver on-demand, zero-carbon industrial heat and power.

America—and the World—Needs More Nuclear Power (Power Magazine)

Posted on March 3, 2023 by Jeremy Harrell

Nuclear energy is making a comeback—at home in America and worldwide. The 118th Congress presents new opportunities to make sure America leads the world on this crucial clean energy technology. The drumbeat for urgent climate action on the global stage is as loud as ever, but we’re also in the midst of a global energy crisis. Both themes exemplify the importance and necessity of new nuclear power on the grid.
