Eileen was invited to speak to Microsoft employees about the Clean Energy Transition Institute’s mission and programs as part of the company’s October fundraising drive.

Today the Clean Energy Transition Institute is releasing Community-Defined Decarbonization: Reflecting Rural and Tribal Desires for an Equitable Clean Energy Transition in Washington.

With President Biden signing the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on August 16, we commence a new chapter that will hopefully begin to bend carbon emissions curves downward in the United States and avert a complete climate crisis.

This presentation is an overview of the deep decarbonization pathways studies that CETI has commissioned with Evolved Energy Research since 2018, describing the scenarios that were modeled and what was learned from studies of the Northwest as a region, and Washington, Oregon, and Montana individually.

What energy resources power the four states of the Northwest? How has our energy story changed over time? You will find the answers to these questions and many more with CETI’s new Northwest Clean Energy Atlas.

This blog helps users understand how to navigate the Northwest Clean Energy Atlas, launched by CETI in May 2022.

A selection of some of the best podcasts and webinars on the latest technical and economic developments in decarbonization that the CETI team engaged with during the first three months of 2022.

Eileen spoke to the E8 Study Group, a collection of clean tech investors, describing the pathways to deep decarbonization for Washington state and what achieving a net zero by 2050 emissions target means.

The Washington State Building Code Council (SBCC) held its first public hearing on February 25, 2022 about the full suite of proposed changes to the Washington State Energy Code-Commercial 2018 Edition.

When the Washington State Legislature passed the Climate Pollution Limits bill in 2020, it etched into law aggressive economy-wide carbon emissions limits to achieve by 2050. For the building sector, this translates into a 96% emission decrease below 2020 levels in three decades.

It’s no secret that contemporary industrial timber practices fall short of realizing the potential of Pacific Northwest forests to sequester carbon.

Eileen presented to the Stoel Rives Climate Change Working Group, discussing the implications of Washington State’s net-zero carbon emission reduction target and the need to create a cooperative electricity market among the 11 Western states.
