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 CETI team presented the key findings from our Net-Zero Northwest Workforce State Analysis to individuals from all four Northwest states.

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.

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.

Spring has sprung and with it the CETI team is hard at work on our Net-Zero Northwest Workforce State Analysis, building decarbonization, and rural clean energy engagement.

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.

CETI reflects on how far we have come in the last three years as we prepare for a busy 2024.
