PUBLIC BRIEFING: Accelerating Decarbonization of the U.S. Energy System

PUBLIC BRIEFING: Accelerating Decarbonization of the U.S. Energy System We are excited to announce that Professor Kelly Sims Gallagher is a co-author of an important new study being released on Tuesday by the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. graphic with text: ACCELERATING DECARBONIZATION OF THE UNITED STATES ENERGY SYSTEM Please join Gallagher and other co-authors for a public briefing on the technology, policy, and societal dimensions of accelerating decarbonization in the U.S. on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 from 2 - 3pm ET. Learn more about the study here. Registration Required This event is a public briefing. Feel free to share with others! About this National Academies event The world is transforming its energy system from one dominated by fossil fuel combustion to one with net-zero emissions of carbon dioxide, the primary anthropogenic greenhouse gas. This energy transition is critical to mitigating climate change, protecting human health, and revitalizing the U.S. economy. To help policymakers, businesses, communities, and the public better understand what a net-zero transition would mean for the United States, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a committee of experts to investigate the technology, policy, and societal dimensions of accelerating decarbonization in the U.S. Join us for a public briefing webinar on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 from 2-3pm ET on a new report that outlines the key technological and socio-economic goals that must be achieved to put the United States on the path to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. During the webinar, members of the committee will discuss critical near-term policies needed for the decarbonization effort, including ways to support communities that will be most impacted by the transition.
