PSE Energy Quarterly Newsletter | Spring 2022

PSE Energy Quarterly is the newsletter of Physicians, Scientists, and Engineers (PSE) for Healthy Energy, a nonprofit research institute that studies the way energy production and use impact public health and the environment.

Featured

PSE’s Director of Research Dr. Elena Krieger has been appointed to two National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) committees: The Role of Net Metering in the Evolving Electricity System Committee and the Hazard Mitigation and Resilience Applied Research Topics Committee. Learn more.

News Briefs

Measuring Methane Gas from Stoves

A new peer-reviewed study by PSE Senior Scientist Eric Lebel and Stanford University discovered that methane leaks from kitchen stoves across the U.S. have a climate impact comparable to the carbon dioxide emissions from roughly 500,000 passenger vehicles. The findings gained national media coverage in the New York TimesWashington PostCNN, and beyond.

Pathways to Energy Affordability in Colorado

In an analysis authored on behalf of the Colorado Energy Office, researchers at PSE and the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IEER) developed one of the most granular and comprehensive analyses of energy affordability. The report outlines strategies to meet Colorado’s climate goals, lower energy costs below 6% of income for all medium- and low-income residents, and save the state $1.5 billion over a 20-year period.

Kitchen Pollutants Study

Sampling natural gas from kitchen stoves is ongoing across the United States as our study to examine the relationship between natural gas, indoor air quality, and human health continues. The next stops for PSE’s scientists are New York City, Pittsburgh, and Washington D.C. Sign up here to participate!

Drilling Impact Evaluation: Big Cypress National Preserve

PSE’s Senior Scientist Dominic DiGiulio and Geoscientist Rebecca Tisherman conducted analysis on the potential impacts of proposed new oil drilling, production, and wastewater disposal locations within the Big Cypress National Preserve. Read the analysis here.

Analysis: Design Trade-Off Considerations for Solar And Storage for Community Resilience Hubs

Designing and implementing resilient power systems with clean energy requires unavoidable trade-offs between cost, duration, capability, and environmental impact. PSE’s Senior Scientist Patrick Murphy provides an analysis of trade-offs between economic and resilience considerations for community-based organizations.
