With interest rates declining, we expect more activity in the renewable and decarbonization space. Subscribing to Decarb Weekly is a great way to stay on top of the latest happenings!

💥 Today! Join Slipstream’s Puja Vohra, VP of Partnership Development, as she presents at the Innovation Agora on the role of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in the clean energy transition at 5:30 p.m. CST. A little more on the Agora: CERAWeek, known as the "Super Bowl of energy," is the world’s premier energy conference by S&P Global; kicks off today with leaders worldwide. 🌎 ⚡ In conjunction with CERAWeek is the Innovation Agora. The Agora features new programs and ideas on energy innovation and emerging technologies all week, bringing together startups, innovators, policymakers, and more—all committed to exploring new pathways for lower emissions, affordability, and reliability. You won’t want to miss this discussion on the role of AANHPI communities in the clean energy transition! 👉 Find out more about CERAWeek and the Innovation Agora conferences: https://ceraweek.com/ #CleanEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #AANHPI #CERAWeek

Cleantech spotlight —Heat Pumps. The best choice for cost savings and a greener future. By harnessing clean energy, heat pumps not only reduce your carbon footprint but also save you money on your energy bills. For every unit of energy consumed, heat pumps produce between three to six units, giving them an impressive efficiency rate of 300% to 600%. Want to learn more? Check out our new briefing paper (https://lnkd.in/emYK8n_R) to discover how a rapid roll-out of heat-pumps can accelerate the shift to a prosperous zero-emissions Australia.

CCUS is definitely an area of my interest. It certainly plays an important role in the energy transition. For those who are also interested in this subject, I highly recommend watching the recordings from this Webinar hosted by Norwegian Energy Partners (NORWEP). It brings a bit of the existing technology related to reservoir monitoring, Annulus pressure control and etc. #northernlights #CCUS #EnergyTransition Norwegian Energy Partners (NORWEP)Northern Lights JV

Do you know that most energy consumption in countries like the Netherlands is actually heat (about 80% of all energy)? The Metalot iron fuel technology of prof. Philip De Goey makes it possible to produce renewable energy, convert it in iron fuel which can be transported (or stored, especially interesting in case of a local cycle) easily, safe and cheap, use the iron fuel as heat source and afterwards regenerate the iron fuel again in a region where lots of renewable energy is available. Congratulations @Philip, Stijn van Aken and all others from Metalot

Earlier this week the Iron Power eco-system presented its new vision document on "Iron Power in the energy transition". Iron powder stands out as a promising metal fuel due to its circular, sustainable, and potentially high-efficiency processes. As an efficient energy carrier, iron powder can be transported easily with vessels, local distribution, and longtime (de)central storage. Moreover, it can be directly used as a fuel in high-grade industrial heating applications. Iron powder has the potential to become a -complementary- energy carrier, especially when integrated with high-grade heat generation. As such, the Iron Power concept is uniquely positioned to contribute significantly to the global energy transition. Let's embrace the power of iron and lead the way in innovation and sustainability. #EnergyTransition #IronPower #storage #SustainableEnergy #Innovation #FutureOfEnergy

"That speed seems about right for a government program." Gabe Klein, Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, made a subtle but important point today at the SAFE Summit: government programs take time. When we work with private sector clients applying for government funding, there's often frustration at the timelines. Grant programs typically take a year from application date to when the award contract is finalized. DOE loans can take 12-18 months to get to conditional commitment. (This is federal--states can move a bit faster.) Why? Because of regulations and oversight. If government goes too quickly or gets sloppy, Congressional watchdogs, inspectors general, and/or the Government Accountability Office will start looking into what went wrong. This is a good thing! Our taxpayer-funded agencies are being held to high standards. This means they're responsible with funds and accountable to the taxpayers who foot the bills. Of course things do go wrong, but it's amazing how often they go right. So what should companies do when their need for speed doesn't match government's caution? 1. Apply earlier. This is the number one thing companies can do. Start pursuing government funding months before you start looking for private funding. 2. Speed up your application process. Form an internal working team that can quickly and nimbly pull together all the needed paperwork. Line up internal reviewers so they're ready to go. You can't control the government's timeline, but you're in control of a lot of the speed of an application. 3. Troubleshoot early. Don't get so far down the wrong path that it takes ages to back up and start over again. What other lessons have you learned?

Bravo Mr Gabe Klein and your team at the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation!! Those EV users without off-street parking at home or work only rely on urban public infrastructure to recharge. Kerb-side chargers mostly at residential areas is the way forward (potential to lowest charging costs and better integration with renewables and grids). The challenge, the number of points required. But there are ways to deal with it. Great Britain and Netherlands are also going on that direction. Hopefully many other countries soon too. Wish also #AFIR after its revision by 2026.
