Noah Dormady's study of Ohio’s retail electricity markets finds majority of retail electric supply offers don't save customers money.

Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions of CO2-Enabled Sedimentary Basin Geothermal
Environmental Science & Technology
2024

Jeff Bielicki's 50th peer-reviewed publication of his career, he was a part of an investigation into the net effects on CO2 emissions of using CO2 from various sources (e.g., natural gas power plants) to produce geothermal heat while isolating that CO2 from the atmosphere.

Integrated Power Sector Planning Needed Under Water-Carbon Dual Challenges
Nature Water
2023

Jeff Bielicki investigates tradeoffs in water consumption and availability with carbon dioxide emissions for power plants worldwide.

Spatially-Explicit Absolute Life Cycle Assessment by Multi-Regional Hybrid Modeling: Computational Framework
Journal of Cleaner Production
2023

Jeff Bielicki establishes a computational approach for environmental lifecycle assessment that considers processes, economic flows, and multiple regions

A Potential for Climate Benign Direct Air CO2 Capture with CO2-Driven Geothermal Utilization and Storage (DACCUS)
Environmental Research Letters

This article from Jeff Bielicki establishes a strategy that uses carbon dioxide to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, as part of a portfolio of approaches to mitigate climate change.

Polluting under the Radar: Emissions, Inequality, and Concrete Batch Plants in Houston
Environmental Science & Technology
2023

Alex Hollingsworth and colleagues show that concrete batch plants in Houston, TX are collectively a large source of pollution, emitting between 38 and 111 tons of primary PM2.5 emissions annually and being disproportionately located in census tracts with more low-income, Hispanic, and Black populations.

Consumer Price Effects of Deregulated Electric Generation Markets: The Case of Ohio and the Midwestern United States
Utilities Policy
2023

This study from Ned Hill and colleagues investigates the effects of electric utility restructuring on the cost of generated electricity, increases in the regulated portions of customers’ bills, and changes in customers’ average total electricity price in restructured states relative to similar states that remained regulated.

Analytical solutions to evaluate the geothermal energy generation potential from sedimentary-basin reservoirs
Geothermics
2023

In this study, Jeff Bielicki and colleagues develop and implement analytical solutions for calculating reservoir impedance, reservoir heat depletion, and wellbore heat loss in sedimentary reservoirs that are laterally extensive, homogeneous, horizontally isotropic and have uniform thickness.
