About Elisabeth Elder

We\'re proud to be built and based in America, and we generate more wind and solar energy than any other company in the world. We\'re among America\'s largest capital investors in infrastructure, creating thousands of high-paying American jobs through our energy investments. We believe we’re at an inflection point in the history of our company, our industry and our global economy. We see a pathway to a completely carbon emissions-free power sector by 2045 with a combination of zero carbon resources and short-term and long-term energy storage.To meet the U.S. national climate goal of cutting emissions 50% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels, as well as the 2050 net-zero emissions goal, the U.S. will need to adopt a range of new clean energy solutions to address hard-to-decarbonize sectors of the economy that are important drivers of economic growth. Clean hydrogen is an emerging solution for use in various industries. As the most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen can be found in water and in fossil fuels like natural gas and coal. Extracting hydrogen from fossil fuels is typically a carbon-intensive process, whereas extracting hydrogen from water emits no carbon. Clean hydrogen is a zero-carbon alternative fuel source for numerous industrial, transportation and power generation applications. By powering the electrolysis process that creates hydrogen from water with 100% carbon-free energy, it is also a powerful enabler of energy resiliency, offering long-duration storage and backup power solutions.
