Yale Center for Environmental Justice’s Post

Register today for the Council's online Industry Training on 7/23! https://lnkd.in/gRAQmaV8 It is designed for California’s clean energy professionals and will deliver career-building insights to demystify California’s policies related to EE, DR, DERs, and EM&V. We will inform as to how major events during the past four decades have influenced the policy landscape of today. We encourage Council members and our industry partners (regulators, utilities, CCAs, RENs, academics, and nonprofits) to strongly consider sending staff who are newer to the efficiency and demand management space. It will be time well spent! We have lined up a great agenda and a team of industry veterans to lead the sessions, learn more and register at: https://lnkd.in/gRAQmaV8 #cleanenergyhistory #energyefficiency #demandresponse #EMV #californiaenergypolicy #distributedenergyresources #environmentalsocialjustice

How successful have market mechanisms in Great Britain been in delivering the energy transition so far? And how do they need to be set up to deliver a decarbonised electricity system cost system effectively? And what about extending that clean electricity to heat and transport? Plenty to talk about from the last few weeks from REMA to strategic network plans to carbon pricing dips. Do join us on Thursday morning as we try and hopefully pull it all together within the hour.

It was a pleasure to join Elizabeth Stein (New York University), Katie Ott (Constellation), Gavin McCormick (WattTime), and Dharik Mallapragada (New York University) on a panel discussing changes in emissions accounting and the impact this will have on markets, financing and new technologies. Our conversation covered how scope 2 emissions accounting is transitioning from a MWh based approach to one based on carbon emissions, key considerations such as the appropriate temporal and locational granularity for measuring emission impacts, the use of marginal vs. average emissions, and why it’s important to address these questions just as electricity demand is set to increase. The panel also discussed how these changes can help create new products for battery storage projects, the impacts on procurement decisions and REC markets, as well as parallels with electricity markets where similar granularity in Locational Marginal Prices (LMPs) has co-existed with a range of contractual mechanisms. The panel was a part of a conference on Emissions Accounting to Accelerate Decarbonization organized by Institute for Policy Integrity at NYU School of Law coinciding with #ClimateWeekNY and the recent announcement of Technical Working Groups in the revision of the #GHGProtocol. https://lnkd.in/evDnRnvb

Our annual impact report is not just a reflection or summary - it's proof of the collective strides we’ve made together, the obstacles we’ve overcome, and the vast potential that lies ahead. In the last year, we've: ✅ generated over £4.04 million in additional revenues ✅ enhanced 2,350 jobs through training ✅ saved an estimated 115,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions ✅ funded 21 masters students and much more.

Our CEO, Cody Johnson, recently participated in the 8th Annual North American Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources (EENR) Conference hosted by the University of Houston Law Center. Cody joined business leaders and educators for the Corporate General Counsel/Senior Executive Panel discussion hosted by Dean Leonard M. Baynes.

Are you tasked with carbon emissions reporting? Do you know how to measure the impact of your freight? Developed in conjunction with Swinburne University PhD students, our Carbon Calculator is the tool you need to measure and report on your scope 1 and 3 emissions. https://hubs.li/Q02KwVRn0

I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Vince Romanin of Gradient, Anca Timofte of Holocene and David Morgan of Carbon Rivers, Inc. at the #SoutheastEnergyPolicyForum hosted by the Howard H. Baker Jr. School of Public Policy and Public Affairs at University of Tennessee, Knoxville about supercharging clean energy technology deployment with public-private partnerships. Thanks very much to Charles Sims for putting together such a stellar event with local, state, and federal policy-makers, industry leaders, utilities, academics, and students. It was an impressive group of people working together to build a clean, resilient, and reliable energy system in the Southeast. All three companies owe their existence to various kinds of public partnerships through research and development grants, purchase orders, carbon markets, and advanced market commitments. That said, all have experienced challenges with identification, pursuit, negotiation, and compliance with these funding opportunities from local, state, and federal governments. The keys to success involve two dog analogies: 1. "Don't let the tail wag the dog." While it is important to be creative and opportunistic when identifying grants to pursue, you have to stick to your core business strategy and not let public funding steer you astray. 2. "What happens when the dog catches the car?" You need to develop your grant proposal with the end in mind and have both a plan and a team in place for executing on grants when they are awarded. We often serve both roles for clients, ensuring their proposals are well-founded in reality and then filling their gaps to ensure projects are executed smoothly and that trust is built with the communities involved. Reach out if you are interested in exploring how public-private partnerships can help your clean energy or decarbonization technology scale!
