They also found that abundant natural gas can, however, help reduce the costs of achieving GHG reduction goals. In this paper, we focus on the implications of growing shale gas production for the climate. Over the range of scenarios that we examine, abundant natural gas by itself is neither a climate hero nor a climate villain.

The value allocated here in EPA’s goal-setting formula was an average heat rate improvement of 6% for coal steam electric generating units (EGUs). EPA is proposing a BSER goal approach referred to as Option 1 and taking comment on a second approach (Option 2). The estimated cost of Option 2 is between $4.2

Simulation of a coal jet region. Multiphase refers to the process of changing a solid (in this case, coal) to a gas (syngas). The program allocates hours to large-scale, computationally-intensive research projects in a range of areas including fusion, climate, and materials. Image credit: Chris Guenther, NETL.
