Natural gas is not cleaner than other fossil fuels and using it instead of coal or oil risks achieving little or no reduction in greenhouse gas effects, says science advisory group the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council (EASAC) in a new report “Future of Gas”.

While small modular reactors have powered naval ships for decades and are also in use in other military applications, they’ve yet to be approved for use in commercial power generation. NuScale’s design doesn’t require some of the key safety features for large-scale reactors.

And while the state’s 22-gigawatt wind power fleet has faced problems stemming from icing of wind turbine blades and relatively low wind conditions that have reduced its ability to contribute to the grid, the primary failure is from the state’s natural-gas, coal and nuclear generator fleet, according to ERCOT data.

Freezing temperatures caused cascading problems in the state’s natural-gas production and delivery network that restricted fuel supply to the power plants relied upon for about two-thirds of wintertime electricity supply. “In some cases, these costs are reported to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

gigawatt "all-source" procurement that will pit new renewables, energy storage, demand response and other clean resources against natural gas-fired power plants in a race to meet what could be a major shortfall in grid capacity in the next four years. The all-source procurement is technically open to existing natural gas plants.

Although the proposed ‘all-source’ procurement would allow existing natural gas-fired peaker plants to compete, it could also open a massive new market for renewable energy, energy storage, demand response and other preferred alternatives to fossil fuels.

But that will require deploying renewables at an even faster pace than the current trajectory and increasing the utilization or load factor for those renewable energy projects, as well as converting coal-fired power plants to natural gas and growing hydro and nuclear power generation.
