Resource Systems Group, Inc. Environment, Energy & Acoustics

As society’s energy requirements increase and nonrenewable resources grow scarce, it’s critical to make informed and thoughtful decisions about energy use and their costs–benefits. For decades, RSG’s founding partners have provided public utilities, environmental groups, independent power producers, and a variety of state and local governments with detailed analysis of their energy issues and challenges.

Areas of Expertise

• Renewable energy technology analysis
• Electric power air emissions offset evaluations (avoided emissions) 
• Electric grid modeling of displaced emissions from renewable energy and energy efficiency, including NO_x, particulate matter, air toxics, and greenhouse gases (GHGs)
• Energy consumption and efficiency analysis
• Carbon accounting

Examples of Our Work

• Modeled the savings in GHG emissions that a large Midwestern city would gain from purchasing energy from a renewable energy source
• Evaluated the technical and economic feasibility and economic benefits from the use of power plant waste heat
• Reviewed the environmental externalities from a wide range of renewable and fossil fuel power sources used by an investor-owned utility
