Green Aspen | Aspen
In 2023, the City of Aspen released its Aspen Sustainability Action Plan as a roadmap for our community to accomplish Aspen''s science-based targets of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by 63.4% by 2030 and 100% by 2050. The plan focuses on five priority areas: energy supply, buildings, vehicles and transportation, waste, and aviation
Renewable energy statistics
Wind and water provide most renewable electricity; solar is the fastest-growing energy source. The accounting rules in Directive (EU) 2018/2001 prescribe that electricity generated by hydro power and wind power have to be normalised to account for annual weather variations (hydro is normalised over the last 15 years and wind over the last 5 years,
KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES
water. By replacing fossil fuel-based energy with renewable resources – and maximizing energy efficiency across all sectors – Aspen meets its energy demands in an efficient, clean and affordable manner. In doing so, Aspen maintains a thriving economy while reducing the adverse environmental impacts of its energy needs. KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Techno-economic analysis of large-scale green hydrogen
Green hydrogen is produced using a renewable energy source to power the water electrolysis process resulting in a zero-carbon process [7]. Recently, other hydrogen colours have been added to the list, like pink hydrogen, which is water electrolysis using nuclear energy. The software Aspen Plus® is used for the modelling and the simulation
Benefits of Renewable Energy Use
In addition, a ground-breaking study by the US Department of Energy''s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) explored the feasibility of generating 80 percent of the country''s electricity from renewable sources by

U.S. Renewable Energy Factsheet
82% of U.S. energy comes from fossil fuels, 8.7% from nuclear, and 8.8% from renewable sources. In 2023, renewables surpassed coal in energy generation. 1 Wind and solar are the fastest growing renewable sources, but contribute less than 3% of total energy used in the U.S. 1 Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) is measured as lifetime costs divided by energy production.

Energy
The Aspen community4 will purchase 100% of its electrical energy from renewable sources [by a date TBD]. While Aspen Electric is 100% renewable, net electricity consumption in the Aspen EIB is powered by 49% fossil resources and 51% renewable resources. Therefore, the Aspen community does not meet this target.
