What role does EPRI play in addressing climate change?

EPRI plays a crucial role in addressing climate change by conducting research aimed at developing strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions specifically in the power sector. This research encompasses a wide array of activities, including analyzing technologies, enhancing grid efficiency, and improving energy management practices that can lead to significant reductions in emissions. By generating reliable data and actionable insights, EPRI helps utilities and industry stakeholders identify effective methods to transition to low-emission energy sources, optimize existing operations, and implement policies that support sustainability goals.

The focus on greenhouse gas emissions is particularly relevant, as the electricity generation sector is one of the largest sources of such emissions. Through its comprehensive approach, EPRI enables stakeholders to make informed decisions that can lead to substantial impacts on climate change mitigation, thereby fulfilling a pivotal role in the broader effort toward a sustainable energy future.
