FLECCS project teams will work to develop carbon capture and storage (CCS) processes that better enable technologies, such as natural gas power generators, to be responsive to grid conditions in a high variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration environment. Phase 1 FLECCS projects are: GE Global Research. 8 Rivers Capital. RTI International.

NREL, NASA, and others are studying whether future aviation could link a larger number of airports. How that happens exactly—whether from on-site renewables or grid supplied—is a site-by-site discussion. The project includes evaluating how smaller airports could supply clean power to both the aircraft and the region.

For the baseline case, recent and projected future generation mixes result in similar or less energy consumption and GHG emissions of the electric truck compared to the diesel truck in most parts of the US. Electric grid transmission and distribution efficiency (from power plants to end-use customers) is the third component.
