This is why accountability matters. There’s no need for trust when you can verify. And MethaneSAT will help us verify whether o&g is living up to its commitments to cut methane so that we can meet our Paris Agreement goals.

The global energy storage market almost tripled in 2023, the largest year-on-year gain on record. 📊

And in 2024, the market is set to add more than 100 GW-hours of capacity for the first time, largely driven by growth in China.

Global ambition to use hydrogen as a climate-friendly fuel is high, but many industries already have promising solutions to achieve net-zero. With Molly Jong-Fast, our Dr. @IlissaOcko points to sectors like light-duty transport as an example.

One of the largest #solar projects in the U.S. is moving closer to completion, & it’s not in famously sunny state like California, Texas, or even Florida. It’s in Minnesota near site of retiring #coal plant.

Love this description of MethaneSAT from Jon Goldstein...MSAT is “like a smoke detector for the planet.” Its data will enable action to slow the rate of warming in this decade. It’s a solution for the future and a solution for right now.

Despite near-term challenges in some countries, the global electric car market gearing up for the next phase of growth

Under today's policy settings, nearly 1 in 3 cars on China's roads by 2030 is set to be electric & almost 1 in 5 in the US & EU → iea.li/44oUhd4

.Treasury Department today issued its latest guidance on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) tax credits — raising questions about scientific rigor and the future of fueling aviation sustainably.

Statement by EDF's Mark Brownstein here ⬇️ edf.org/Z66n

The world has now built about 4,000,000,000 solar panels.

Solar panel production has been highly, highly optimized and automated.

The small-scale and modularity of solar panels is the secret sauce that has driven down its cost and ensured its future as a major energy source.

There’s no time to waste on solutions that aren’t backed by science. The science on forest-based carbon credits is robust, and only improving. We should trust and follow it.

Huge, very much welcome. There are an estimated 800,000 unreported orphan wells in the U.S. More efficient plugging methods and potential for alternate uses for end-of-life wells further strengthens the business case for addressing these methane-emitters.

Today 📢 EDF + partners hand delivered over 85K petition signatures to U.S. Department of Transportation calling for PHMSA to finalize stronger standards that #CutMethane leaks from pipelines.

This is a powerful chance for Secretary Pete Buttigieg to protect communities + deliver a climate win.

Since 2010, battery costs have fallen by more than 90% — offering opportunities to cut emissions in road transport & electricity

In 2023, electric car sales rose to almost 14 million. And battery storage deployment in the power sector more than doubled 👉 iea.li/49Xo910

It’s crucial for investors to understand the role methane plays in their investments– and how to mitigate these risks. That means asking the right questions as the industry continues to shift toward net zero: edf.org/Z66d

While regulations and industry evolve to meet the climate moment, we are thrilled to see Starbucks' mentioned here as our newest Dairy Methane Action Alliance member -- a positive step forward for corporate action on climate! bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

We can stabilize the climate with solutions we already have at hand. EDF-led research showed conserving temperate forests is a major opportunity in the climate fight – one we can’t afford to miss. Dive into insights with our Amanda Leland and Steven Hamburg: scientificamerican.com/article/how-te…

Companies need clear pathways for bold climate action. Recent move by Science Based Targets initiative opened up those pathways for high-quality, innovative mitigation efforts that can help transform whole systems & industries.

Important step from the EPA today. New protections will reduce pollution from the largest industrial source – our nation’s fossil fuel power plants. My statement on this pivotal moment for health and climate: edf.org/media/epa-unve…

Ahead of the 2025 United Nations climate summit, governments must become more ambitious in reducing their emissions—and find new ways to collaborate to generate climate financing for developing countries, writes Kelly Sims Gallagher.

.Starbucks, Clover Sonoma are welcome new additions to the Dairy Methane Action Alliance. We must cut methane quickly to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Hope to see corporate momentum on methane continue with more companies joining DMAA soon.
