Two Major Decarbonization Trends are Emerging Worldwide
Commitments from electric & gas Decarbonizing the energy economy
sectors to significantly may require significant
reduce CO2 emissions by 2050 deployment of low-carbon fuels
Renewables and nuclear power Transitions are underway to
generation, battery/grid storage, incorporate bioenergy and
and energy efficiency to achieve renewable fuels, replace fossil fuels
significant reductions with alternate molecules, and
deploy CCUS
Pathways may include carbon
capture, utilization, and storage Consumers want options --
(CCUS); hydrogen (and other integrated primary and final energy
WITH energy carriers); and systems could support the transition
CAPTURE
negative carbon approaches to a future energy economy
Achieving economy-wide net zero emissions will require low-carbon energy resources

The Low-Carbon Resources Initiative (LCRI) is a five-year R&D commitment focused
on the advancement of low-carbon technologies for large-scale deployment
across the energy economy. This initiative is jointly led by EPRI and GTI.
