Navigating the U.S. Energy Transition: OnLocation's Insights to 2050
Key Ideas
  • OnLocation's U.S. Energy Horizons to 2050 Report analyzes the future of the U.S. energy system, emphasizing clean technology innovation and policy impacts.
  • The report's scenarios show significant CO2 reductions by 2050, particularly in the power and transportation sectors, surpassing AEO 2023 projections.
  • Key advancements include achieving net zero CO2 in the power sector by 2040 through renewables, battery storage, and carbon capture technologies like BECCS.
  • OL-NEMS model updates cover hydrogen production, carbon capture, and other mitigation technologies, reflecting a comprehensive approach to decarbonizing the energy sector.
The U.S. energy landscape is evolving, driven by technological advancements, policy shifts, and changing consumer preferences. OnLocation, a subsidiary of KeyLogic, has released the U.S. Energy Horizons to 2050 report to delve into this transformation using its OL-NEMS model. The report offers insights into Reference and Advanced Technologies scenarios, highlighting the potential of clean technologies and supportive policies to drive deep decarbonization. OnLocation's decision to launch the report this year comes as the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) opted out of releasing the Annual Energy Outlook for 2024, leading to a gap in critical energy system information. By leveraging its expertise and OL-NEMS model, OnLocation aims to fill this void, providing stakeholders with a valuable tool to navigate the evolving energy landscape. The OL EH report incorporates key updates, including advancements in hydrogen production, carbon capture technologies, and regulatory standards. Noteworthy is the accelerated phase-out of conventional fossil fuels in favor of renewables and electric vehicles, resulting in more substantial CO2 reductions compared to previous projections. The scenarios presented indicate a path towards achieving net zero CO2 emissions in the power sector by 2040, showcasing the potential of innovative solutions like BECCS. The insights from the report offer organizations a means to explore potential future energy trajectories effectively and devise strategies to steer the sector towards a sustainable future. OnLocation's commitment to facilitating this transition is evident through its forthcoming reports on related topics, underscoring its dedication to aiding public and private entities in addressing the challenges of the evolving energy landscape.
