As we plan for the future and advance eff orts to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions, we know we need to keep working to fi nd sustainable solutions that will support our journey to a net zero future. Through a longstanding collaboration with Breakthroug h Energy Ventures, we continue to support research and development and advance policy solutions that increase momentum for innovations t hat will help get us to net zero.

On the ground, Berkshire Hathaway Energy is working on carbon capture, utilization and storage and providing expertise on next-generation nuclear reactor designs. The transition to a net zero future is also at the core of our policy agenda, where we are working to achieve support for broad er deployment of noncarbon generation and federal investment in r esearch and development, which are necessary components to achieving our goal. We will continue working with our stakeholders to be a force for good in our collective low-carbon transiti on – working together to fi nd the right solutions and speed of transition.
