NOT JUST MIT! “Records show that after Shell donated $25m in 2022 to LSU to create the Institute for Energy Innovation, the university gave the fossil fuel corporation license to influence research and coursework for the university’s new concentration in carbon capture, use and storage. Afterward, LSU’s fundraising entity, the LSU Foundation, used this partnership as a model to shop around to members of the Louisiana Chemical Association, such as ExxonMobil, Air Products and CF Industries, which have proposed carbon capture projects in Louisiana. For $2m, Exxon became the institute’s first “strategic partner-level donor”, a position that came with robust review of academic study output and with the ability to focus research activities. Another eight companies have discussed similar deals with LSU, according to a partnership update that LSU sent to Shell last summer. Some students, academics and experts said such relationships raise questions about academic freedom and public trust.” 🤔 You think? #cfindustries #shell #exxonmobil #LSU #greenwashing

In #Scotland we launched our first panel session to accelerate disseminating low-carbon knowledge in the European communities that we serve. The panel's theme was “How CCS and Ocean Power Technologies Intertwine Offshore.” Laure Mora, a key member of our organization, highlighted the following before the panel commenced (she is pictured speaking in the orange jacket): 1.) Thanking all volunteers, supporters, attendees, and event sponsors via Industrial Gas Consultants LLC. and CCU International. 2.) How our organization counts with the backing of skilled professionals from companies like Petrobras, aramco, ExxonMobil, Siemens, Honeywell, SLB, and Repsol. 3.) Detailing the diversity of the Founding Board, which includes 6 of the 11 Founding Board Members being women. 4.) How proceeds that we generate continue to go to advance charitable causes. 5.) Our unwavering commitment to #bridging the gap between developed and developing nations. #KnowledgeSharing #Global #Europe

Help CALSSA Fight for California’s Clean Energy Future! California is at a critical crossroads in the clean energy movement. The California Solar & Storage Association (CALSSA) is on the front lines fighting to accelerate rooftop solar and battery storage adoption — pushing back against utility-driven policies that threaten progress and slow down the state’s clean energy goals. 🚨 The Challenge: Utilities are advancing agendas that limit rooftop solar growth, raise energy costs, and stifle innovation. CALSSA is battling these efforts through policy advocacy, legislative action, and grassroots mobilization. Why Support CALSSA? ⚡ Policy Defense: We’re fighting for pro-solar policies like NEM 3.0 reforms, pushing back against utility-backed regulations that harm clean energy expansion. 🌞 Energy Freedom: Rooftop solar means more energy independence, cleaner air, and lower energy bills — benefits utilities want to control. 💥 Your Impact: Donations power lobbying efforts, public campaigns, and legal challenges to secure California’s clean energy future. How You Can Help: 💰 Donate Today: Your support strengthens our legal and advocacy campaigns. 📣 Raise Your Voice: Spread the word to grow our movement. 🤝 Join the Cause: Partner with CALSSA to amplify our impact. Together, we can outshine outdated utility models and power California's future with solar and storage! https://lnkd.in/gUyjGWBM #SolarFreedom #EnergyIndependence #CALSSA #CleanEnergyWarriors #SaveSolar #ClimateAction #UtilityReform #SolarAdvocacy #BatteryStorage #CaliforniaRenewables #GreenFuture #FightForSolar #SolarM&A
