    For anyone interested in learning more about nuclear energy and its potential to contribute to meeting increasing demands on the grid, check out my colleague Sarah LaSalle’s thought piece!

    Explore our latest blog: "Market Outlook: Nuclear Fuel’s Role in the Energy Transition" The energy grid is under unprecedented strain as demand skyrockets due to electrification, AI-driven data centers, and extreme weather. While renewables grow, they aren’t scaling fast enough—nuclear energy is emerging as the reliable, low-carbon solution we need. In this blog, we break down: • Why nuclear energy is critical for grid stability and decarbonization • How fission and fusion technology shape the nuclear landscape • Nuclear’s advantages in reliability, cost, and emissions reduction • Key challenges and opportunities, from SMRs to workforce readiness • Market outlook for nuclear fuel and its role in a cleaner future As momentum builds globally, nuclear energy is poised to play a central role in meeting rising demand and achieving climate goals. What’s your take on nuclear’s role in the energy transition? https://bit.ly/3VIwG3V #EnergyTransition #NuclearEnergy #SustainableSolutions #GridReliability

  • Global Partners is proud to have provided the renewable diesel used in this groundbreaking test. Sourced from sustainable materials, renewable diesel is a drop-in replacement for conventional diesel, helping accelerate decarbonization. The demonstration showed that renewable diesel can significantly cut lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions offering a cleaner solution for thermal power generation.

    EPRI and Tennessee Valley Authority just completed the world's largest renewable diesel-powered combustion turbine demonstration at TVA's Johnsonville site in Tennessee! This innovative test on a 76-megawatt dual-fuel unit shows that renewable diesel can slash greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75% compared to conventional diesel, while still delivering reliable, on-demand power. This milestone highlights the potential of low-carbon fuels to drive the energy transition. It also underscores TVA and EPRI's commitments to developing clean energy technologies that support a sustainable and reliable power supply for our growing economy. The successful demonstration could have significant implications for peaking units, which are smaller power plants that can quickly ramp up or down to ensure grid reliability. This flexibility is important for balancing intermittent renewable resources like wind and solar.
