EPRI and Gas Technology Institute (GTI) have created the Low-Carbon Resources Initiative (LCRI) to accelerate development and deployment of low- and zero-carbon energy technologies. The LCRI is targeting advances in the production, distribution, and application of low-carbon, alternative energy carriers and the cross-cutting technologies that enable their integration at scale. These energy carriers—which include hydrogen, ammonia, synthetic fuels, and biofuels—are needed to enable affordable pathways to economy-wide decarbonization by mid-century.

AEC Production: Renewable Fuels
Production of alternative energy carriers from biomass and biochemical processes.
AEC Production: Hydrocarbon-Based
Production of alternative energy carriers from fossil fuel feedstocks, hydrogen-intensive conversion processes such as Fischer-Tropsch and Haber-Bosch, and carbon capture and utilization technologies.
AEC Production: Electrolytic Processes
Production of alternative energy carriers via electrolysis, including the integration of low-carbon electricity sources.
Storage and Delivery
Storage and delivery of alternative energy carriers and transportation and sequestration of CO2.
AEC End-Use: Power Generation
Applications of alternative energy carriers as fuels for power generation – both in pure and blended forms.
AEC End-Use: Transportation, Industry, and Buildings
Applications of alternative energy carriers in the transportation sector, commercial and residential buildings, and in industrial processes (both as fuels and feedstocks).
