Low Carbon 24 x 7 for All
Industry can best deliver on aspirational goals if policy and decision makers encourage transitional technical pathways
Pintail Power has been operating in stealth mode over the last few years: researching the needs of power producers and load serving entities, patenting a portfolio of technical concepts, refining product line opportunities, building relationships with equipment vendors and EPC contractors, and working within professional associations to develop technical standards to guide a mix of storage solutions. We learned industry can best deliver on aspirational goals if policy and decision makers encourage transitional technical pathways, such as novel hybrid storage + generation assets designed to leverage reduced-carbon fuels under development.
Because that’s where the carbon is!
