Electricity accounts for ~25% of total GHG emissions. What about the 75%? How do we address those sectors? Join us on June 28 to find out https://t.co/n6V7ge7k9A @AAAS_STPF

This afternoon @theNASEM will examine the technology, policy and societal/behavioral challenges and opportunities for the U.S. as the economy travels a path to deep decarbonization. Join the discussion and Initiative launch in person or via webcast: https://t.co/cr3IRprViB

EFI Principal Joseph Hezir highlights that to slow the pace of global warming, we must accelerate clean energy innovation in breakthrough technologies in a keynote for the @AAAS Symposium: Beyond Electricity (@STPF_NRGClimate). Read the story here: https://t.co/xtgOWXiehJ

Article @aaas highlights our #BeyondElectricity symposium. Thanks to sponsors Linden Trust, @Hewlett_Found, @AAAS_STPF for support, and to all who gathered to envision accelerated solutions for hard to #decarbonize sectors. Look for a detailed report soon! https://t.co/WEzUm35pdd

I really enjoyed learning about decarbonization of the international shipping industry at @aaas's #BeyondElectricity symposium last month. @AAAS_STPF This is great follow up reading from @camilareads: https://t.co/bihbCQPDyj

@kellylsingel Books: Get rid of as many as possible (is there a prison book exchange like @B2Pdc near you?) For the ones you want to keep, Trader Joe's gives away empty boxes previously used for cases of wine. They are robust to not break and small enough to not get overloaded. Welcome to #DC!

27/27 And that's a wrap, #BeyondElectricity. A final panel connected the learning across sectors. Perhaps @LorenLaPointe @ezeitler @longtlam @Guerillaradio17 and others @AAAS_STPF can fill in their insights from that panel and the day. Safe travels home, all!

Thread for #BeyondElectricity symposium today @AAAS_STPF: Intro by @longtlam, highlighting vision guiding this workshop: that we would recognize the significance of emissions outside the electricity sector (~75% of emissions) and that we would share learning cross-sectors 1/n

26/n: @RickDuke1 U.S. can become a deeply decarbonized industrial powerhouse. Economy-wide carbon price esp required in this sector. Other needs: supply push (tax, loans), demand pull (codes, standards, procurement) infrastructure (CO2 and H2 pipelines, HVDC), market reforms.
