Harvesting the Sun tells the stories of three Washington state businesses in Jefferson and Clallam counties that have benefited from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Rural Energy for America (REAP) program.

This project aimed to: (1) understand the barriers to decarbonizing buildings for the state’s rural and Tribal low-income, energy-burdened households, and (2) determine whether decarbonization strategies and clean energy development could address energy inequities in these communities.

The Clean Energy Transition Institute (CETI) designed the Atlas to provide regional stakeholders with interactive visualizations that explore energy data relevant to deep decarbonization in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.

This project provides analysis for six Washington manufacturing sectors—aluminum, concrete and cement, glass, iron and steel, pulp and paper, and wood products—to help stakeholders and policymakers understand the different methods for decarbonizing each of these industries.

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.

The Clean Energy Transition Institute and the 2050 Institute developed Operation 2030 to frame and jumpstart multilevel mobilization to fully scale building decarbonization activities by 2030, with specific emphasis on time-critical strategic decisions and actions that must happen in the 2020s.

The Clean Energy Transition Institute commissioned Research Fellow Claire Buysse to perform a literature review of clean energy job studies in the fall of 2020 through February 2021, the result of which is Investing in Clean Energy Jobs: A Literature Review.

Today, the Clean Energy Transition Institute released Meeting the Challenge of Our Time: Pathways to a Clean Energy Future for the Northwest, the first economy...

The first economy-wide analysis to examine decarbonization pathways mapped to the Northwest’s economic and institutional realities. The Clean Energy Transition Institute commissioned this study to understand how Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington could technically and economically achieve a low-carbon economy over the next three decades.

Case Statement for a deep decarbonization pathways study that would offer guidance to Washington and Oregon policymakers, advocates, and investors for developing climate policy by addressing the question: How does the Northwest decarbonize the built environment, transport sector, and electricity grid between now and 2050 and at what cost?

Summary and analysis of decarbonization pathways studies to inform Northwest policymakers, funders, legislators, local government officials, and climate advocates about how to advance a low-carbon/decarbonization pathways study for the region, particularly for Washington and Oregon.

Eileen edited this report authored by Seth Zuckerman and published by Climate Solutions examining the impact that electric vehicles could have on addressing climate change, as well has how the grid can provide the electricity required to power mass adoption of electrification.
