By delving into scientific, technological, environmental and economic data, Cornell University engineering researchers examined whether New York could achieve a statewide carbon-free economy by 2050. Their finding: Yes, New York can reach this goal\u2014and do it with five years to spare.<\/p>\n

Fengqi You, professor in energy systems engineering and Ning Zhao, a doctoral student in the Process-Energy-Environmental Systems Engineering (PEESE) lab, examined a variety of carbon-neutral energy systems and decarbonization methods after the state passed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) in July 2019. Their new paper, “Can Renewable Generation, Energy Storage and Energy Efficient Technologies Enable Carbon Neutral Energy Transition?” was recently published in App<\/a>lied Energy<\/i>.<\/p>\n

“Now we have a 2050 ‘net zero’ target,” You said. “As New Yorkers, we can commit to making the needed changes on renewable energy transition for electricity and space heating. The law’s goals are very feasible from economic and technological perspectives.”<\/p>\n
