Washington State Industrial Emissions Analysis

From January through July 2021, The Clean Energy Transition Institute analyzed Washington state’s industrial emissions to help the Department of Commerce improve its data collection to develop Washington-specific decarbonization roadmaps. Our work entailed breaking down the upstream, process, and downstream phases for the state’s top nine emitting industries, identifying the dominant emission sources and data collection for each stage, and suggesting other data-collection methods. We also drafted a case study on green cement.

Meeting the Challenge of Our Time

Meeting the Challenge of Our Time: Pathways to a Clean Energy Future for the Northwest is the first economy-wide analysis to examine decarbonization pathways mapped to the Northwest’s economic and institutional realities.

Claiming Power: Stories of Rural Communities and Clean Energy

The initiative currently consists of two phases starting with a report in fall 2021, followed by a series of Operation 2030 strategic forums and policy briefs throughout 2022.
