Material Detail

Electricity generation is responsible for 32% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and electricity demand is growing. Decarbonizing the electric power sector is critical to meeting the growing demand while simultaneously reducing overall carbon emissions.

Integrating more renewable resources is a key component for decarbonizing the electric power sector. Since electricity supply and demand must be balanced in real time, this poses challenges due to the variability of renewable resources such as wind and solar.
