Grid-Scale U.S. Energy Storage Capacity Could Grow Five-Fold By 2050
"Across all scenarios in the study, utility-scale diurnal energy storage deployment grows significantly through 2050, totaling over 125 gigawatts of installed capacity in the modest cost and performance assumptions — a more than five-fold increase from today’s total. Depending on cost and other variables, deployment could total as much as 680 gigawatts by 2050."
Building sustainable, high-performance data centers – a conversation with Jim Connaughton, CEO of Nautilus
"The partnership will help meet global data center needs with energy-efficient and water-conserving facilities which use 70% less power for cooling and eliminate the consumption of drinking water. The partnership will help to transform the environmental footprint of the data center sector and to close the digital divide by deploying to cities, rural communities, and developing economies around the world."
Gas-powered vehicle sales have ‘peaked’ as electric set for massive growth, analysis finds
