Power Systems of the Future: Perspectives on Carbon Emissions and Power Production

Izatt Christensen Lecture at Brigham Young University

Energy efficiency is beginning to receive increased attention as a way to reduce the use of fossil fuels and the resulting production of greenhouse gases. Sometimes coined as “negawatts” (vs. megawatts), increased energy efficiencies also provide an avenue to address possible future legislation of cap and trade or a carbon tax. The increased use of renewable energy such as solar or wind power reduces carbon usage but adds a dynamic element to power production, although grid operators have found ways to meet power demands that can change every minute. Trends in power production are discussed and economic driving forces are highlighted in the decarbonization of the grid.
