Energy and Atmospheric Systems Catalyzer
The Energy and Atmospheric Systems Catalyzer modeled and quantified multidirectional relationships among climate, air quality, and energy systems.
Climate and air quality drive global transitions in power, transportation, industry, buildings, and product design. Clean energy technologies will be affected by a changing atmosphere and will impact atmospheric systems in more ways than reduced CO2 emissions.
Through the Energy and Atmospheric Systems Catalyzer, completed in September 2023, JISEA/NREL analysts helped identify emerging questions, established new research capabilities, and provided thought leadership in climate change and atmospheric sciences.
This work supported the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's integrated energy pathways critical objective.
