A recent article from Trellis Group explored how data center customers—many of whom have been global leaders in private-sector emissions reduction pledges—will react to the wave of proposed natural gas generation plants to power the explosion of data center development. This includes what role carbon capture could play if new natural gas generation is added to support that demand. The story features insights from GPI's Ryan Kammer, who discusses the importance of evaluating infrastructure, geologic storage access, and regional conditions when considering these projects. The article also highlights GPI’s Natural Gas + CCS Atlas (link in comments), a new planning tool designed to help developers, policy makers, utilities, and energy buyers better understand where natural gas power paired with carbon capture may be most viable across the United States. https://lnkd.in/ezUE6b88 As conversations around data center energy demand continue to evolve, thoughtful analysis and objective planning tools will be increasingly important. #DataCenters #CarbonManagement #CCS #EnergyInfrastructure #CleanFirmPower
