Webinar: Nevada’s Growing Clean Tech Industry
Nevada’s incredible solar, wind and geothermal resources, as well as its active and growing lithium mining sector, open up vast growth opportunities for emerging clean tech industries such as energy storage and low carbon hydrogen. Now, thanks to the state’s commitment to decarbonization, this potential looks set to become a reality.
The state of Nevada has long set its sights on expanding renewable energy generation, and to that effect it has implemented a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) of 50% renewables by 2030. By 2050, Nevada aims to produce as much electricity from zero carbon sources as it is sold statewide. According to the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada, about 20% of the state’s electricity is currently generated by renewables, leaving ample room for growth. However, to achieve its 2030 and 2050 goals, Nevada needs to deploy more energy storage alongside renewables, as storage is essential in integrating variable renewables such as PV and wind into the grid. Other technologies, such as zero carbon hydrogen will contribute to higher levels of decarbonization, by abating emissions in sectors that are hard to electrify, such as heavy road transport and aviation.
