Research Analyst Jeanne Currie takes a deep dive into transmission – what it is, why it matters for the clean energy transition, and how a more effective, centralized process for transmission planning could help the Northwest achieve decarbonization.

ACORN Fellow, Will Kammin, describes the Northwest Clean Energy Atlas’ new interactive energy visualizations and connections to his master’s thesis on the development of offshore wind energy along the U.S. Pacific Coast.

This month, Eileen explains why decarbonizing buildings is so important to hit Washington’s emissions reduction goals and how SCALE 2030 aims to produce an analytical roadmap to drive the systemic changes needed for the state’s building sector ecosystem to deliver a rapid ramp-up of electrification by 2030.

Oregon's 2024 Legislative Session has come and gone - here's what happened with clean energy policy and budget priorities.

CETI breaks down what clean energy legislation and budget proposals made it over the finish line in Washington's 2024 Legislative Session.

Learn about CETI’s Net-Zero Northwest Workforce State Analysis webinar.

The Net-Zero Northwest (NZNW) Workforce State Analysis examines the jobs that would be created or displaced in the four Northwest states if the region were on the path to achieving net-zero emissions, as modeled in the NZNW Energy Pathways analysis, by subsector, industry, and occupation in the electricity, fuels, buildings, and transportation sectors.

Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 in the Northwest will not be possible at the scale and pace that the climate crisis requires without significantly investing in equitably growing a clean energy workforce.

The clean energy transition poses particular challenges and opportunities for rural communities. In our second 'Decarbcast' blog, CETI shares some of the best podcasts we have listened to that shed light on this nuanced aspect of decarbonization.

For this month's 'Demystifying Decarbonization' installment, the CETI team will be sharing a multi-part series that aggregates the most educational podcasts that we have listened to recently by topic. These pods have helped us unpack and understand some of the latest decarbonization developments as they relate to our program areas. First up, a look at U.S. industrial policy, green hydrogen, and biofuels.

We know that green hydrogen has the potential to play a major role in achieving a clean energy transition in the Northwest – especially when it comes to hard-to-decarbonize industries – but many questions remain about the environmental justice impacts of developing a hydrogen and clean fuels supply chain.

In the first installment of CETI's 'Demystifying Decarbonization' series, Eileen explains the five pillars of deep decarbonization and how they interact with one another.
