Description
Accelerating the Gas Transition will help decarbonize New York State’s natural gas system and end-uses, such as heating and industrial applications, to achieve Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (Climate Act) targets and other local requirements, such as Local Law 97 in New York City. While there are efforts underway now to support building decarbonization, such as New York’s Clean Heat program and utility non-pipe alternatives projects, there are still areas in need of innovation to cost-effectively tackle the next stage of transition, ensure equitable access to solutions, and transform the business models for gas utilities.
Accelerating the Gas Transition needs can be addressed by a variety of solutions. Here are some illustrative examples of utility opportunities, and we expect even more could address this Innovation Opportunity – stay tuned for our Innovation Sprint on this topic coming later in 2021!
