Conclusions – an “existential” threat to non-peaking natural gas…?
• Near-term: deregulated markets move towards renewables and storage as interest surges. The first major
regulated utility solar-plus-storage procurements come online.
• Mid-term: regulated utilities move further towards solar-plus-storage, but potentially lean on new natural gas
depending on system needs. Disruption in wholesale markets from price-takers begins to alter conventional
generation economics.
• Long-term: renewable and storage capacity out-strips combined-cycle, but federal or accelerated state policy
action is needed to further displace natural gas as a baseload resource.
Policy, market forces, and the necessity of flexibility will decide.

RE100% challenges – a US 2040 scenario
The US would require 1,600 GW of wind and solar capacity
– this is a 160% increase on TOTAL US power generation
Massive wind and solar build-out
Adding 900 GW of additional storage capacity, representing
~17 TWh of storage capability
Utility-scale storage
The US would also need to double the size of its high-
voltage transmission infrastructure to 400,000 miles.

Key Takeaways
The power market is evolving quickly and the knock-on effects of decarbonization must be
thoroughly analyzed to ensure the long term success of these endeavors
Energy Transition Scalability Challenges
Climate change and technology costs/capabilities are driving the decarbonization movement even
in the absence of aggressive national policies
The expansion of renewable energy generation is inevitable, and will introduce additional volatility
to wholesale power markets
That power market volatility must be addressed with technological solutions (long-term storage
and transmission investments) and regulatory measures (expansion of capacity markets) to
ensure grid resiliency
Scalability challenges to extended value chain are numerous and substantial
»Transmission is the most troublesome portion of the value chain
»EPC resources will need to expand dramatically to address latest RE technology deployment
»“Energy Majors” will have global influence in RE100 scenarios, so who are the right companies to lead
the charge

Key Takeaways
• Gas fired generating capacity will be needed to manage transition to an
increasingly renewable dominated grid
• However, market looks to be unable to provide the proper price signals
to time and site new supply
• Solar benefits from lack of locational price signals and quicker
development times
• Battery storage will need sufficient evolution time to fully compete with
new gas capacity in terms of grid reliability

Electrolyzer type Benefits Risks
Alkaline
• Lower costs – cheaper catalyst metals
than PEM
• Long performance history
• Uses liquid caustic electrolyte, usually
potassium hydroxide which is hazardous,
corrosive and susceptible to leakage
• Requires several minutes to ramp up and
down, so challenging for pairing with
intermittent energy resources
PEM
• Rapid response time
• Operates at high temperatures and
current densities
• Higher capex
• Lower operations and maintenance costs as
no potassium hydroxide is required
• Market is comparatively nascent

• The market is immature
• A lack of competitiveness is not inhibiting growth
• But there are signs of a potential inflection point
• New policies and carbon regimes could improve
green hydrogen’s outlook
• Ultimately the trajectory of green hydrogen is tied to
the trajectory of lower cost renewables
Although green hydrogen is not competitive today, it still needs to be on your radar
