Meeting Data Center Electricity Demand
Mapping carbon capture potential for natural gas-fired generators in the US and Canada
US data center electricity demand is projected to grow by approximately 200 TWh by 2030. This report explores how natural gas with carbon capture and storage (NG+CCUS) can meet that demand reliably and with lower emissions.
Key takeaways:
NG+CCUS could meet up to 63% of projected US data center power demand.
Many future data center hubs align with low-cost CCUS infrastructure and storage.
Viability depends on long-term contracts and continued US policy support, including the 45Q tax credit.
