Hey #EnergyMastodon, we finally got set up here so I guess we should do an #introduction

Catalyst is an all-remote worker #Cooperative focused on open #DataEngineering, analysis, and open source software. We mostly work with public US data related to the energy system, pulling together information from #FERC, #EIA, #EPA, and other agencies and trying to turn it into analysis-ready database tables so advocates, policymakers, & researchers can focus on their own novel work instead.

The US has a glut of methane—aka “fossil gas” or its marketing term “natural gas.”

This is because US production has increased so dramatically in recent years, thanks to fracking.

And US production is expected to keep growing
"In our Annual Energy Outlook 2023 (AEO2023) Reference case, we project U.S. natural gas production to increase 15% and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to increase 152% between 2022 and 2050. We expect natural gas production to rise to 42.1 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) by 2050.”
