The state of Baden-Wuerttemberg is funding the construction of a new test system in Schwaebisch Hall with the “Future Program Hydrogen BW.”

A complete transition from fossil fuels to electricity for heating and cooling has the potential to reduce the resiliency of critical facilities unless an on-site backup power supply is provided.

The new boiler boasts an electric consumption reduction of up to 65% when compared to burners previously purchased by the New York City Housing Association.

Instead of needing to build in resilience for both fossil fuels (natural gas, propane, fuel oil, etc.) and electricity to keep your building systems running, an efficient all-electric design only requires resilience for one energy supply.

New economic study finds that if investments in electricity infrastructure are not made, each American household is projected to lose $5,800 in disposable income by 2039.

For Chicago, the best-case scenario is that electricity use increases by 12% and water use increases by 4% if global warming crosses a 1.5°C threshold. But if a 2.0°C threshold is reached, then the worst-case scenario is a 20% increase in electricity use and a 6% increase in water use.
