Happy Carbon day (12.01) to all my carbon-based colleagues! @ENERGY has been going HAM on some great CO2 mgmt announcements recently and rounded out nicely with an event today.

A🧵on a few favorite Carbon mgmt resources from @BPC_Bipartisan this year, in case you missed them!

How to build demand for clean hydrogen -very good explainer from @amenasaiyid in @CipherClimate that draws on some recent @BPC_Bipartisan work from @ItsJohnJacobs and @Fellow_Meron https://t.co/EzgWb2PgFk

[John Jacobs @ItsJohnJacobs]

DOE's new hydrogen demand-side program could change how agencies launch clean energy markets.

For H2Hubs to thrive, H2 producers need customers. Demand-side support can clear hurdles to liftoff.

@BPC_Bipartisan convened stakeholders to discuss program design.

3 Key Takeaways:
