The European Union officially adopts a clean hydrogen definition, grounded on the "Three Pillars" assessed in @wilson_ricks & my paper (iopscience.iop.org/article/1…):
1. New supply
2. Deliverability
3. Hourly matching.
The US must follow suit and adopt rules at least as stringent.

I spoke about this a few weeks ago at NREL. We need a more robust capital ecosystem this time around, not just VCs and mainstream infra.

US EV manufacturing is now on track to reach 4.5 million vehicles a year, with more projects in the pipeline. Once preliminary plans announced by Ford, Honda, Volvo, and BMW are finalized, production levels could meet the Biden administration’s goal of 50% EV sales by 2030. 3/8

Four years ago today, John & I built up enough conviction to start @WeaveGrid
Even back then, I remember us talking about "how do we attract the best talent to solve these hairy problems in climate?"
And now we're doing it, as I say in @washingtonpost

Congrats @MadisonCFreeman on your prestigious @KnightHennessy fellowship at Stanford, and we'll miss you! You were an invaluable force on our clean energy team and brought a fresh innovation and climatetech lens to @ClimateEnvoy's agenda for US international climate leadership 👏🏽
Some personal news!! Tomorrow will be my last day as an advisor to the @ClimateEnvoy.
I’m headed to @Stanford as a @KnightHennessy Fellow, pursuing an MBA + MS in the brand-new climate school.

Earlier this week, I identified six broad ways local governments can tap into the IRA. But there is SO MUCH MORE to unpack.

We are bringing to the market clean technologies to reduce carbon emissions and reach #NetZero by 2050. Creating the market demand is essential though. Check what we are working on it and what's new in the #FirstMoversCoalition. bit.ly/3ciePNK

The Bank of Australia said it will scrap loans for new fossil fuel vehicles as of 2025. Its chief impact officer explained that date was picked "because the change to electric vehicles needs to happen quickly." apple.news/A_6LHEnCZRtCRXa1D…
