A selection of some of the best podcasts and webinars on developments in decarbonization since our First Quarter DecarbCast.

The Clean Energy Transition Institute team has had quite a productive year to date, working on building and industrial decarbonization and exploring rural clean energy in the region.

We are pleased to share resources from Building Washington’s Clean Materials Manufacturing Economy, which took place virtually on June 23 and in person on June 28 in the Seattle offices of K&L Gates, a co-sponsor of the event.

A major way the Clean Energy Transition Institute carries out its mission is to convene diverse stakeholders to examine opportunities and challenges related to transitioning off fossil fuels.

President’s Biden’s recent announcement to invoke the Defense Production Act could expand domestic manufacturing of heat pumps. This blog summarizes the current policy landscape related to heat pumps in the U.S.

Eileen presented to the K&L Gates Environmental Law Practice Group, which described the evolution and common findings of deep decarbonization pathways studies that have been performed in the Northwest since 2018.

Heat pumps are a crucial strategy for decreasing emissions from the building sector. This post summarizes the major factors concerning this promising piece of low-carbon infrastructure and the role it could play in decarbonizing buildings.

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.

Clean Energy Transition Institute Researcher Ruby Moore-Bloom and Research Fellow Claire Buysse have been researching how to decarbonize industrial emissions in Washington state for the past five months.

We dug into the underlying dataset of two map visualizations from the Atlas: 1) Northwest Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Large Emitting Facilities, by Gas and 2) by Industrial Process.

This guest lecture at Western Washington University talked about developing a clean energy workforce; reviewed clean energy job growth studies; discussed challenges with clean energy job projection; and described directing economic opportunity to historically excluded communities.

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.
