This study explores strategies of the energy sector towards Industrial Data (ID) production and sharing in the Southeastern region, with a focus on sources and uses of ID, and evolution of energy firms in the ID ecosystem? The goal of this work…
Russell Gold, senior energy reporter for the Wall Street Journal, spoke with the Georgia Tech Energy Club members about the intersections of energy technology, policy, and economics, during the club’s October 6, 2020 Energy Chat virtual event.…
The United States is increasingly vulnerable against the threat of cyberattacks that could impair our electric grid, network of oil and gas pipelines, and economy at large. To address this need, the federal government should fund a network of…
Georgia Power today announced, in collaboration with Georgia Tech, it will build a new 1.4 MW microgrid in Tech Square at Spring and Fifth streets in Midtown Atlanta. Microgrids are self-contained power systems co-located with the facilities they…
Trillions of cubic feet of natural gas is thought to lie in cold storage within Earth’s permafrost and under its oceans. That gas, however, is trapped within chemical cage-like structures called methane clathrates. Scientists are very interested…
Georgia Institute of Technology today announced the creation of a new, major regional energy center. The center will operate out of Georgia Tech’s Strategic Energy Institute (SEI) and provide an unbiased and interdisciplinary framework for…
