From power plants to DAC; in states, Washington, internationally, I've been in the fight for a safer climate, mostly behind the scenes. finally progress???
Check out the new report from #Industrial Innovation Initiative (I3) - Landscape of #CleanHydrogen: Outlook for Industrial Hubs in the United States. Led by @CarbonSolnLLC, features maps illustrating options for #Hydrogen hubs in the U.S. 🧵1 of 7 https://t.co/CrHAtYfEkK
Today, @ENERGY announced up to $6 billion worth of projects to catalyze #GHG reductions in energy-intensive heavy industries.

It's encouraging to see heavy industries are willing and able to change the way they work to reduce carbon emissions. Transformational technology is here and will catalyze faster and deeper emissions reductions in the years ahead.

Today the U.S. Treasury released new guidance on the 45V Hydrogen Production Tax Credit, enabling the acceleration of U.S. #CleanEnergy transition.

News of the day at #BonnClimateConference: failure to agree on agenda. This procedural dispute is about financial commitments that must be met. But the call to take mitigation off the agenda in the midst of a climate emergency did seem a bit ironic.
Dr. Lisa Graumlich, @theAGU, introduced their vision statement of ethical framework for climate intervention to guide research, experiments and deployment globally. AGU neutral on #oCDR, stresses agreeing a framework doesn't make deployment inevitable.
Prof Levin urged the #stocktake to reflect existing role that oceans play in carbon cycle and climate solutions like ocean-based renewable energy. She cautioned that all forms of oCDR have ecosystem impacts and none are proven, thus the precautionary principle should prevail.
Prof. Lisa Levin, Scripps at #Bonnclimateconference, reminded us that the #oceans are largest carbon repository in the world. (38gton of carbon, World Oceans Review). Carbon stored in waters below 1000 meters will keep it there for 100-200 years. 1 of 2
UN Secretary General Special Envoy for #ocean Peter Thompson calls for high level panel investigating #CDR, including #oceans. Kilaparti Ramakrishna, Woods Hole, endorsed idea; said governance central to everything #oCDR; MRV removal potential and ecosystem impact in research.
#UN Special Envoy for oceans remarked that #IPCC predicted 100-1000gton of #CDR needed to limit warming to 1.5C. Multilateral community 'delinquent' in not sufficiently debating CDR. We have a responsibility to engage in full and frank research on #oCDR.
Ocean mentioned 23 x in the #UNFCCC technical dialogue for #stocktake, according to secretariat staff. Ocean CDR mentioned once. Oceans need to be championed by member states as both a climate impact and NSB solution. Ocean Dialogue well timed - 6/13-14 in #BonnClimateConference
A big day for #ocean#climateaction at the #unfccc today. As the oceans warm and acidify, more work is needed to protect it and harness its nature-based solutions. Can we do that in the #stocktake? I'm off to find out how! staytuned.
I’m back! UN climate talks in Bonn. It’s been over a decade and there are lots of new acronyms and a lot at stake. And I’m as foolishly optimistic as ever. Stay tuned for my reflections as I dive in on Monday. And to my old friends here, I can’t wait to reconnect.
The Industrial Innovation Initiative (I3) advances key solutions to decarbonize the #Industrial sector by midcentury. It is co-convened by @GreatPlainsInst and @WorldResources. https://t.co/NUwnkybGUq

State and federal lawmakers, energy buyers and corporations can use the report to help develop hubs that capitalize on the diverse applications and environmental benefits of #CleanHydrogen.🔽6 of 7
BREAKING: The U.S. @EPA's proposed rules to cut emissions from new and existing power plants is an important step to lock the country into a prosperous, clean and equitable future.
