To achieve decarbonization, a fully electric building must account for the carbon footprint of its electricity sources. In this webinar, we look at how grid-scale BESS penetration impacts the renewable energy mix for utility customers in the US, and we discuss how batteries as distributed energy resources (DERs) fill in the gaps on a building’s carbon balance sheet. We review how today’s market-ready and emergent BESS technologies play their roles in the desired outcome – a 100% renewable grid.

Christina Liebner is the owner and principal of Field First Technical Solutions LLC, a consultancy focused on accelerating novel renewable energy technologies to market. Early in her career, she focused on industrial building energy efficiency, performing energy audits and retrocommissioning studies on datacenters, semiconductor fabrication plants, and wet chemistry labs, and she worked to scale building commissioning via automated software tools. Later, she pivoted to grid-scale solar and storage product development and is proud to have directed the continuous operation of the first grid-connected iron-air battery. Christina is also the mother of two bright young girls, ages 3 and 6.
