from Green Energy Futures · host David Dodge
Instead of saying ban fossil fuels tomorrow, what if by using a small amount of flexible gas we could get to 96% clean energy?This is the thrust of Michael Liebreich's Pragmatic Climate Reset. Today, we talk to Anders Lindberg of Wärtsilä out of Finland, which makes flexible gas power plants.In one example, their models show you could replace 30% coal generation with just 12% flexible gas capacity, use it only 4% of the time and achive 96% clean energy and radically lower emissions.🟢 GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast❤️ Subscribe Today - We have more than 400 episodes!✅ BLOG - GreenEnergyFutures.ca✅ PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.
