⚡️BREAKING ⚡️Today @ #CEM13MI7 | #GCEAF UNIDO & Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM)’s Industrial Deep #Decarbonization Initiative welcomed the USA as a new member - a major step in turning the tide on decarbonizing energy- intensive #steel, #cement & #concrete industries 🙌🏽 industrialenergyaccelerator.org/general/us-joi…

UNIDO’s Industrial Deep Decarbonization Initiative (IDDI) just announced its Green Public Procurement Pledge for cement/concrete & steel at Global Clean Energy Action Forum. This is shaping up be the largest international initiative for public purchasing of low-emission materials. #GCEAF #CEM13MI7🧵

The 🇺🇸 recently joined the international Industrial Deep Decarbonization Initiative (IDDI). This is an important 1️⃣ step toward 🏭 #Decarbonization, but its level of commitment is yet to be decided. Next steps? Dr. Dr. Ankita Gangotra & Katie Lebling explain 👇 wri.org/insights/green…

3d printing of cement and concrete: a technology we can make environmentally friendly, if we only want to…science and policy getting together thanks to ⁦Dr. Ankita Gangotra⁩ ⁦Joanna Lewis⁩ #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #pictureascientist nature.com/articles/s4417…

…and if you are not tired of us by Friday …come to hear about a physicist’s perspective on reducing #cement and #concrete #environmental impact Room 236, 8:36am

Policymakers outline support for #CCUS; the debate around CCUS continues. Insights from Asia Investor Group on Climate Change, WRI Climate, Inevitable Policy Response, Carbon Tracker, Reclaim Finance, InfluenceMap, Grantham LSE, UNDO │ Carbon Removal.

Check out my comments on carbon capture 👇🏽 TL;DR: CCUS will be an important technology for the industrial sector once it scales. But it’s no silver bullet. There’s a range of decarbonization technologies, including electrification and fuel switching, needed to get to net zero.

US discussions on implementing policies at the intersection of climate and trade are increasingly gaining traction. Here’s how a low-carbon product standard can ensure that hard-to-abate sectors accelerate their decarbonization while also bolstering their competitiveness.

The intersection of climate & trade policies is increasingly at the center of U.S. and international debate. Here’s how a low-carbon product standard can accelerate decarbonization while bolstering competitiveness. bit.ly/3mNmxEI

Friends and colleagues in the LA area - please join us for this in-person event tomorrow on US-China climate cooperation organized by WRI Climate at the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator. Details below:

I'm sharing this so other Arlington pet parents are aware. Arlington County needs to better regulate kennels and daycares, mandating proper training for staff. What can be done about this AWLArlington, VA? (CC: Arlington Now)

Please apply for this postdoctoral fellowship to come work with me (or one of my colleagues) at STIA! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Today the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology advanced a bill that would establish a major U.S. effort to innovate and decarbonize America’s concrete and asphalt sectors. Read the statement from Angela Anderson ⬇️ bit.ly/49bAluF

Wowza. U.S. Department of Energy just announced at least one, potentially two #GreenSteel plants!! This is HUGE. As a reminder, my north star was a 100% green H2 direct reduced iron plant that replaced a #coal-based blast furnace and had both union & community benefit agreements. Results: 🧵

There is an untapped innovative solution that can reduce US #cement emissions and improve competitiveness. Read our latest article to learn how ⬇️ bit.ly/3UCqCbx
