WHO WE ARE
CONVENE, INFORM, AGREE, ACT
The Great Plains Institute is an organization of leaders and experts dedicated
to engaging and collaborating with people, organizations, and communities to
craft nonpartisan, pragmatic energy solutions that benefit the economy and
environment.
Our work is based in the relationships we’ve built over the last 25 years that
result in more beneficial and durable outcomes.
OUR WORK
WE COMBINE OUR UNIQUE CONSENSUS-BUILDING APPROACH WITH EXPERT KNOWLEDGE,
RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS, AND LOCAL ACTION.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To achieve our mission, GPI works on solutions that strengthen communities and
provide greater economic opportunity through creation of higher paying jobs,
expansion of the nation’s industrial base, and greater domestic energy
independence while eliminating carbon emissions.
GPI’s goals for transforming the energy system are to:
* increase energy efficiency and productivity
* decarbonize electricity production
* electrify the economy and adopt zero- and low-carbon fuels
* capture carbon for beneficial use and permanent storage
See Our Work
ROAD MAP TO DECARBONIZATION
Great Plains Institute created a series of road maps that show how a low-carbon
future is possible using existing technologies. Developed through consensus by
diverse stakeholder groups, these road maps help guide industry and
policymakers as they make decisions about low-carbon solutions that benefit the
economy and environment. You can explore the road maps on electricity and
transportation on our interactive website and check back for updates as we add
chapters on decarbonizing buildings and industry.
Our work is based in the relationships we’ve built over the last 25 years that
result in more beneficial and durable outcomes.
EXPLORE THE ROADMAP
WE FOCUS ON FIVE MAJOR AREAS OF WORK:
CARBON MANAGEMENT
We are leading regional and national efforts with government, industry, labor,
and NGOs to achieve the economic, jobs, and environmental benefits of deploying
carbon management technologies critical to reaching mid-century decarbonization
goals.
Our work in Carbon Management →
COMMUNITIES
Cities and communities are critical to creating a better energy system because
collectively they are big enough to matter and small enough to make changes
quickly. GPI’s programs are designed to assist communities in different ways
with all the elements needed to drive change.
Our work in Communities →
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable energy generation capacity in the US must increase dramatically to
achieve a carbon-free electricity sector by 2035. As renewable energy becomes
the economic leader in clean energy generation, we must resolve new deployment
issues and challenges to realize our decarbonization goals.
Our work in Renewable Energy →
ENERGY SYSTEMS
Our goal is to enable a net-zero GHG energy system that can support the energy
needs of the country, including the additional load brought on by the
electrification of other energy uses. We are also working to decarbonize end
uses of natural gas and hydrogen. To achieve our goals, we take a systems-level
approach, working at multiple scales and with a diverse range of key actors.
Our work in Energy Systems →
TRANSPORTATION & FUELS
By creating fuels and chemicals from renewable sources while simultaneously
electrifying the transportation system we can reduce these emissions by 50-90%
while also cutting the cost per mile.
Our work in Transportation and Fuels →
