Rob Morgan reposted thisAt Redtail Renewables, we were excited to play a role in the growth in the 2025 market. Renewable natural gas has numerous environmental and financial benefits, and I am excited to see how the market continues to grow and evolve in 2026. https://lnkd.in/g4Z4QHtKRob Morgan reposted thisIt's out! We've just released our latest report on the biogas industry. Check out the details in the report, downloadable now via our website home page. The upshot? It was another strong year for American biogas, with 70 new biogas projects coming online in 2025, representing more than $2 billion in new domestic recycling and energy infrastructure. Biogas capture capacity increased 7.5%, reaching 780.7 Bcf per year--that's enough energy to power 5.2 million homes annually! The U.S. now has nearly 2,600 biogas systems capturing methane from manure, wastewater, food waste, and landfills and turning it into valuable products — renewable natural gas, electricity, heat, and natural fertilizer. More highlights: • Farm-based systems led new construction, with 40 new projects • Landfill gas remains the largest source of captured biogas • Most projects in 2025 were built to produce RNG Today, biogas projects operate in every state. Seven states — Texas, California, Illinois, Idaho, Washington, Wisconsin, and Florida — each attracted more than $100 million in new project investment last year. Biogas continues to demonstrate its value as practical, scalable infrastructure — delivering American-made energy 24/7 while strengthening rural economies, improving waste management, and turning organic waste into fuel, power, and fertilizer.

Rob Morgan liked thisRob Morgan liked thisI’ve always loved building new things, connecting the dots, and finding creative ways to tackle massive challenges. Today, I’m thrilled to share that I’m bringing that energy to a new adventure: I’ve officially become a Noogler! (...=New Googler) I am joining the Energy & Power team within Google Global Infrastructure (GGI) to lead the new Origination & Partnerships group for the Americas region (OPA). Our team's purpose really speaks to me. We are Google’s energy originators, acting as the air traffic control that enables the Energy & Power group to engage openly and effortlessly with the market. We sit at the intersection of energy, data center infrastructure, and 10x growth, working to ensure that clean, firm energy is a cornerstone of the conversation from the very beginning of DC capacity planning. Ultimately, we are here to unlock real value through multi-GW, carbon-reducing strategic partnerships that support Google Cloud and our global services. For the last couple of decades, my career has been rooted in the supply side of the energy transition as an entrepreneur. I’ve been incredibly lucky to help shape this industry since its earliest days, from the ground floor of wind energy development in Spain, to the pioneering days of direct corporate purchasing, in the early-2010's, and more recently, building a green hydrogen DevCo. But when this opportunity at Google came along, it sparked something special. It is a unique chance to channel a lifetime of business-building, market-shaping, and network-broadening into something even bigger. I am stepping into this role because I want to apply my "builder’s lens" to the demand side, to do some real, lasting good for the climate, and to work on deeply impactful projects that will leave a meaningful legacy. Google has been writing the playbook on corporate energy innovation for years. I am stepping into this with a lot of humility, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to plug into GGI. I can't wait to work with—and learn from outstanding leaders like Amanda Peterson Corio, Aaron M., Will Conkling and Michael Terrell, as we shape what comes next. I'm also fortunate to work with an extraordinary OPA launch team, including Patrick Taylor, Christopher Scott, Anaïs Immas, Juli Johnston & Bradley Druzinsky. The rapid rise of AI is one of the most significant infrastructure challenges and opportunities of our time. I’m looking forward to connecting with partners across the energy ecosystem to bring some creative thinking to the table and tackle this together. Let's build!

Rob Morgan liked thisRob Morgan liked thisDrayage’s short, repeatable routes make it a practical starting point for electrification in the supply chain, especially since heavy-duty trucks generate a disproportionate share of greenhouse gas emissions. Initiatives like the Electrifying Drayage Alliance are helping to accelerate that shift by aligning shippers, logistics providers and infrastructure partners to expand electric operations at major ports. For AIT Worldwide Logistics, this reflects how we approach our customers’ supply chains. Progress happens through practical steps, strong partnerships and a focus on scalable solutions.

Rob Morgan liked thisWow transistors are small.Rob Morgan liked thisThe size of a transistor compared to a human hair, red blood cells, bacteria and virusses. Very impressive, especially when considering that the very first transistor demonstrated at Bell Labs in 1947 was about the size of a thumb. In less than 80 years, we went from a device you could hold between your fingers to one so small it disappears next to a virus. A testimony to the power of science & engineering! 💪 Video credit: DOcelot1

Rob Morgan liked thisThis is a very useful addition to the Primary Energy Fallacy (named by Paul Martin, I believe!) literature. Because of [geeky fun with math], the more you electrify the quicker the "but but but fossil dominates" narrative becomes obsolete.Rob Morgan liked thisThe "last 10%" of the energy transition aren't the hardest. They're 10x EASIER than the first 10%. (At least if you've been taking Primary Energy metrics at face value. Bear with a complex-systems physicist for 90 seconds :-) You've heard the line: "Renewables are still only ~15% of global primary energy, we'll never make it." Favorite KPI of every transition skeptic. Also wrong, for a reason now well documented: → Jan Rosenow named it the Primary Energy Fallacy. → Michael Liebreich made it the 5th of his "Five Superheroes of the Transition." → Nick Eyre and Hannah Ritchie quantified the destination: a fully electrified world needs roughly 40% LESS energy than today's fossil one. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Sankey diagram makes the waste visceral: about two thirds of every unit of primary energy we extract becomes waste heat. Never reaches a wheel, a room, or a screen. But almost nobody has charted the gap between the real progress bar and the broken one. Let's do it together. Napkin math, how hard can it be? One number to start: ➡️ Useful-energy multiplier (X): how many units of fossil primary energy it takes to deliver the same end-use service as one unit of green electricity. Heat pump vs. gas boiler: ~3. EV vs. ICE: ~3. Wind/solar vs. coal plant: also ~3 (thermal plants throw away 60-65% as waste heat). The effects compound, so X ≥ 3 is a conservative anchor. ➡️ E = share of assets actually electrified (the real progress bar) ➡️ P = share of primary energy that looks green in the official statistics (the bent meter) One unit of green end-use sits on top of E electrified assets. The remaining (1−E) fossil assets show up in primary-energy stats inflated by X: P = E / (E + (1−E)·X) And the marginal slope of the bent meter: dP/dE = X / (E + (1−E)·X)² Plug in X = 3 and you get the lookup table (see image). Where the 10x comes from. Take dP/dE at the two endpoints: 1/X at E=0, and X at E=1. The ratio is X². With X=3, that's 9. With heat-pump-grade X=4, it's 16. Same physical effort early and late, wildly different headline. The bent meter doesn't just lie about the level. It lies about the slope. So next time someone waves that 15% chart at you, you have a translator. 15% reported, with X≈3, means we're already past 35% on the real progress bar. Foothills, not cliff face. Most of the OECD sits around 20% electrified (Ember, July 2025). China is moving 10 percentage points per decade. The race that matters is the one on the E axis. PS (TBH): the last 10% really are hard, for other reasons. Industrial heat above 1000°C, aviation, shipping, fertilizer, cement chemistry. Real engineering, real time. But that's not where bent-meter pessimism aims. It aims at the comfortable middle: heat and transport, where electric tools already exist and just need deployment. That's the share I'm happy to keep doing with Pionix and the EVerest Project. The hard 10% deserves its own posts, but it's not the problem of this decade.

Rob Morgan liked thisRob Morgan liked thisSomething remarkable is happening in hyperscale infrastructure. Google, Meta, and AWS are quietly converging on the same infrastructure philosophy: → Limit number of gigawatt-scale campuses → Stay connected to the public grid → Smaller, distributed facilities for AI inference Three fierce competitors. Three different reasons. One shared conclusion. Google won't build off-grid — it conflicts with their carbon-free energy commitments and frankly doesn't pencil out operationally. Meta reached the same place from pure economics — the redundancy, logistics, and permitting costs of true off-grid generation eliminate the advantages. AWS made the most consequential admission of all: smaller data centers work fine for inference. And inference will be 90% of 2030 compute. Here's why this matters for the American grid: The U.S. grid can easily unlock 100,000 MWs of existing capacity if it can upgrade the grid intelligently. Separately, the clean energy industry has roughly 250 GW of safe-harbored solar and battery projects in the pipeline through 2029 that can be strategically placed onto the grid where utilities need that capacity the most. That's an extraordinary amount of clean capacity. But its value depends entirely on electric utility integration with demand flexibility. Distributed, grid-connected inference facilities can be accelerated with they learn how to unlock 160 GWs of batteries, hot water heaters, EV chargers, and heat pumps that are built to be grid responsive. These appliances can absorb power when the grid is flush and reduce consumption when it's constrained. The hyperscalers didn't set out to solve clean energy integration. They were optimizing for latency, cost, and operational reliability. But their leadership can force electric utilities to change the way they operate the grid so that data centers don't get blamed for old lazy electric utility practices. Governors also care because utility bills have become a top campaign issue. See the data centers partner with Governors to force the electric utility industry to start operating their grid differently. Electric Utilities have known how to do this for years, but now they really have no other choice. Would love to hear what you're seeing on the ground.The Quiet Consensus That Could Save the American GridThe Quiet Consensus That Could Save the American Grid
