Research

Peer-reviewed findings, contextualized.

Summaries of significant energy research, with limitations and commercial implications made clear.

Research tracks peer-reviewed studies, national laboratory reports and agency analysis that inform energy decisions. Sources include the IEA, EIA, NREL, national grid operators and academic journals.

Studies often get reduced to a single eye-catching number. Briefs here summarise the method, the assumptions and the limits of a study, not just its headline. We link to the original report so readers can check our reading. Where findings conflict, we explain why different models reach different answers, for example on future electricity demand or the cost of reaching high shares of renewable power.
