In this sponsored feature from NYU Tandon in IEEE Spectrum, Assistant Professor Dharik Mallapragada explains how his Sustainable Energy Transitions group models the path to a decarbonized energy system. The group develops mathematical modeling approaches to analyze low-carbon technologies and how they integrate into energy systems under different policy and geographical contexts.
Its case studies include low-carbon hydrogen from water electrolysis, where clean electricity demand and precious metal supply chains can limit scale, and regional aviation, where on-board hydrogen storage and fuel cells must advance to preserve payload capacity.
