This book, titled “Clean Energy Innovators: NREL People Working to Change the World”, features the work of a number of RASEI Fellows. Written by Ernie Tucker, and published in June of 2022, it adopts a focus on the human-interest aspect of the critical work being done at NREL.

Collecting together stories and snapshots that were spread across newspapers and magazines, and digging deeper into profiles of different NREL members, this book puts together a collection of perspectives. This isn’t a history or NREL, instead it is insights and thoughts from the people who built NREL.

Modeling has shown that if the world stops burning fossil fuels, we can avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Transitioning our energy system from fossil fuels to non-carbon energy sources provides a host of benefits beyond addressing climate change.

Reductions in air pollution, improved social equity, increasing the number of good-paying jobs and boosting the economy are all possible. This report, co-authored by RASEI Fellows Jeff Logan and Chuck Kutscher, explores what this transition looks like, the benefits and opportunities of making this change, and mechanisms that can be used to accelerate this global transformation.

The executive summary, 15 pages long, provides a great introduction to the challenges, solutions, and opportunities to this complex and crucial problem.
