Electric Industry Opportunities for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
A one-day, intensive technological exploration of how the electric industry can reduce greenhouse gas emissions
In this interactive one-day seminar you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions are created in the electric industry and the various ways in which the electric industry might reduce them. Whether you believe that GHGs are causing global warming or not, regulation of them is either already here or soon to come. This course looks at each of the technological options available to the electric industry to reduce GHGs and assesses the costs and opportunities associated with them.
This course was designed with your participation in mind! Questions and discussion among attendees are highly encouraged. And you will participate in a number of group exercises that will give you a real-world perspective of the issues surrounding GHGs. You will leave this information-packed seminar with relevant and current information that can be applied immediately to your work!
Prerequisites: Electric Business Understanding or a thorough knowledge of the electric industry.

Is Electric Industry Opportunities for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions the right seminar for me?
If you are tired of the hype and political rhetoric surrounding GHGs and simply want to know what the electric industry can do to reduce them and at what cost, this seminar is for you! Whether it's early in your career or you’ve been in the electric industry for a while, you will ultimately be affected by GHG regulations. This seminar can help you to identify opportunities for the electric industry as it responds to the need to cut GHG emissions.
While anyone with a connection to the electricity industry should consider this fundamental seminar, here are the types of employees who have found this class especially helpful to their continued success in the industry:
- Professionals in the electricity industry needing a technological understanding of how GHG emissions can be reduced
- Professionals in the renewables industry
- Professionals such as attorneys, accountants, finance, PR, IT, and regulatory staff with involvement in GHG issues
- Energy and government professionals tasked with formulating carbon compliance strategies
- Regulators and legislators, and their respective staffs, concerned with GHG policy
- Environmental professionals with involvement in GHG issues
- ISO/RTO employees needing to understand the technological changes that will occur in response to GHG regulations
How will Electric Industry Opportunities for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions help me?
After participating in this one-day seminar, you will return to your job with an unbiased and clear view of how the electric industry can reduce GHG emissions and at what cost. You will also learn about opportunities for the electric industry to reduce emissions from other sectors such as transport and space heating. This will prepare you to help your company develop successful strategies and will enable you to plan for career growth within the opportunities resulting from the coming restrictions on GHG emissions.
In one information-packed day, this dynamic course will provide you with a solid understanding of:
- What GHGs are and why energy companies must deal with them - whether or not they believe in the science of global climate change
- Where man-made GHGs come from
- Why the power sector is at the center of the GHG solution
- The various electric generation technologies and how they contribute to GHG emissons
- The 6 key ways that the electric industry can reduce its own GHG emissions
- How GHGs can be reduced in fossil fuel generation
- How non-fossil fuel grid assets can be used to reduce GHG emissions
- How the electricity industry can help reduce GHG in other sectors
- Cost and implementation issues for GHG reductions
Greenhouse Gases and Why We Care
- What are GHGs?
- The greenhouse effect
- How GHGs are measured
- Man-made sources of GHGs and where they come from
- The power sector sources responsible for GHGs
- Why the power sector is at the center of GHG reductions
- What the power sector can do to abate GHGs and at what cost
Reducing GHG Emissions in Fossil Fuel Generation
- How generation units are typically dispatched
- Steam turbine technology, heat rates and carbon emissions
- Gas combustion turbine technology, heat rates and carbon emissions
- Gas combined-cycle technology, heat rates and carbon emissions
- How GHGs can be reduced in electric generation (including possible reductions, costs, technology maturity, and key implementation issues for each alternative)

- Power plant efficiency improvements
- Switching to lower carbon fuels (co-firing with biomass, coal to gas)
- Carbon capture and sequestration
- Post-combustion capture
- Oxy fuel combustion
- Pre-combustion capture

Using Grid Assets to Reduce GHG Emissions
- How GHGs can be reduced through fleet switching and extending electric power to other sectors (including possible reductions, costs, technology maturity, and key implementation issues for each alternative)
- Generation fleet switching
- Nuclear power
- Hydro power
- Renewable technologies and challenges with grid implementation
- Storage
- Smart grid
- Improving other sectors (space conditioning and transportation)
- Combined heat and power (CHP)
- Ground source heat pumps (GSHP)
- Electricity as a transport fuel (comparison of gasoline, coal-powered electric car and natural gas powered electric car)
Summary and the Future
- What can we practically do?
- What will it cost?
- What is required to make it happen?
- Why this is an opportunity for growing the electric business
