The European Union officially adopts a clean hydrogen definition, grounded on the 'Three Pillars' assessed in Wilson Ricks & my paper (iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…):

1. New supply
2. Deliverability
3. Hourly matching.

The US must follow suit and adopt rules at least as stringent.

I spoke about this a few weeks ago at NREL. We need a more robust capital ecosystem this time around, not just VCs and mainstream infra.

*Another* exciting industrial heat announcement for the day -- Rondo Energy is building a factory in Thailand that will be 2.5x the size of Tesla's gigafactory to produce heat batteries with widely available materials

Making your next beer more electric -- congratulations Addison Killean Stark and the rest of the AtmosZero team on the public announcement of their exciting new industrial decarbonization tech!

A must read for anyone working in climate tech. We need more creative approaches to capital to scale new and existing climate solutions. ctvc.co/project-financ…

Whats missing from the narrative is SVB is a climate bank

A massive backlog of interconnection requests is blocking the🌞solar deployments we need to decarbonize our grid -- and the problem is getting worse each year. Great analysis out of Sightline Climate (CTVC)

stories on America's political divide:
- tired
- see it every day

stories on America's HOME HEATING divide:
- wow, new information
- relevant to decarbonization
- how did it get like this??

Very proud of this piece w/ John Muyskens and Naema Ahmed

Very exciting -- Universal Hydrogen Co. just flew the largest plane powered by hydrogen!

UH2's hydrogen modules are loaded on the plane like cargo instead of requiring traditional fueling (== safer, greener, & more economic) & the jet size can serve real regional routes

US EV manufacturing is now on track to reach 4.5 million vehicles a year, with more projects in the pipeline. Once preliminary plans announced by Ford, Honda, Volvo, and BMW are finalized, production levels could meet the Biden administration’s goal of 50% EV sales by 2030. 3/8

Four years ago today, John & I built up enough conviction to start WeaveGrid

Even back then, I remember us talking about 'how do we attract the best talent to solve these hairy problems in climate?'

And now we're doing it, as I say in The Washington Post

It's my privilege to get know most of the StanfordGSB students interested in #climate They're all exceptional and, there's the best of the best
Apoorv Bhargava was an easy bet to become an all-star founder & CEO
Huge congrats to him & his team WeaveGrid

Want to help scale carbon removal technologies?

We’ve identified 100+ research and innovation gaps that need filling:

Here are 15 of them that need attention. 👇🏻

but we think it could be a #gamechanger as practitioners navigate the traverse from voluntary to regulated #climatedisclosure .

Check out our #oped in ImpactAlpha, which links to our working paper. Feedback and collaboration welcome!

A typical highway car and truck stop that is fully electrified will need about as much power as a small town...

Read the full release on the new announcements👇🏽. Huge thank you to our partners World Economic Forum (@Antoniagawel and your whole climate team), to Boston Consulting Group, and to my amazing USG partners @DLinDC, Annie Hills (& alums Sagatom Saha Madison Freeman over the last year!)

in the (very few) studies that have been done, around 1/4 to 1/3 of EV chargers are broken at any time — and often it takes 3+ weeks to fix them

Huge opportunity for companies like ChargerHelp! protect our EVSE investments to fix this and make our EV infrastructure actually work for everyone

Had an amazing time visiting Antora Energy on Friday! Here’s CEO Andrew Ponec and I dressed in our most stylish outfits in their lab, where Antora is developing a new way to decarbonize industrial heat and power

New investigation by Reuters finds 'the nation’s ethanol plants produce more than double the climate-damaging pollution, per gallon of fuel production capacity, than the nation’s oil refineries.'

We need to end the disasterous Renewable Fuels Standard. reuters.com/business/susta…
