In the Clean Energy and Climate Plan (CECP) for 2025 and 2030\, a blueprint was established that outlined the strategies\, policies\, and actions that will put the Commonwealth on a pathway to achieve our 2050 decarbonization goals\, equitably and affordably\, with major new initiatives advancing decarbonization of buildings\, transportation\, and electricity sectors. Many opportunities for public engagement exist to help craft the CECP but what’s a good introduction to how Massachusetts will make transportation electrification (TE) a reality on a massive scale? With electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers and EV charging equipment suppliers revving up their engines to meet this demand\, a clear understanding of the MA transportation market characteristics\, utility programs\, state incentives and interactions with other market sectors and programs is needed\, as well as knowing how to navigate federal efforts to build up resilient\, fast-charging grid infrastructure. Join NECA’s panel of industry experts that will share their perspectives on this exciting movement toward TE\, the opportunities it presents as well as what they think will be in store for 2022 and beyond.

Stephens DESCRIPTION:On January 26 at 5PM\, NEWIEE will host Jennie C. Stephens\, author of “Diversifying Power – Why We Need Antiracist\, Feminist Leadership on Climate and Energy”. Stephens will discuss the themes of “Diversifying Power” and answer your questions about the book. Reading the book is not a pre-requisite for attending this book talk. You will gain resourceful insights either way. \nEvent registrants will receive a code for 20% off the book from Island Press! \n  \nAbout The Author\nJennie C. Stephens is the Dean’s Professor of Sustainability Science and Policy and Director of Northeastern University’s School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs in Boston. Her research\, teaching\, and advocacy focus on social and political innovation in the transformation away from fossil fuels to a more just and equitable renewable-based future including gender diversity\, energy democracy\, and energy justice. \nBefore Northeastern\, Professor Stephens was on the faculty at the University of Vermont (2014-2016) and Clark University (2005-2014). She earned her PhD at Caltech in environmental science & engineering and her BA at Harvard in environmental science & public policy.\nwww.jenniecstephens.com @jenniecstephens \n  \nAbout The Book\nIn “Diversifying Power”\, energy expert Jennie Stephens argues that the key to effectively addressing the climate crisis is diversifying leadership so that antiracist\, feminist priorities are central. Stephens examines climate and energy leadership related to job creation and economic justice\, health and nutrition\, and housing and transportation. She explains why we need to reclaim and restructure climate and energy systems so policies are explicitly linked to social\, economic\, and racial justices. \nDiversifying Power shows that anyone working on issues related to energy or climate (directly or indirectly) can leverage the power of collective action. The work to shift away from an extractive\, oppressive energy system has already begun. By highlighting the creative individuals and organizations making change happen\, Diversifying Power provides inspiration and encourages action on climate and energy justice. \n  \nAbout The Publisher\nFounded in 1984\, Island Press’ mission is to provide the best ideas and information to those seeking to understand and protect the environment and create solutions to its complex problems. \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n \n Register Here\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n Cohosted with: URL:https://newiee.org/event/newiee-reads-diversifying-power-why-we-need-antiracist-feminist-leadership-on-climate-and-energy-with-author-jennie-c-stephens%ef%bb%bf/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:NEWIEE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://newiee.org/wp-content/uploads/Pages/News/2021.12_NEWIEE-Reads-Diversifying-Power.gif ORGANIZER;CN="NEWIEE":MAILTO:NEWIEE@NEWIEE.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220127T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220127T120000 DTSTAMP:20260404T073539 CREATED:20220117T003923Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220117T003923Z UID:18659-1643277600-1643284800@newiee.org SUMMARY:NECHPI's CHP and its Role in Decarbonization DESCRIPTION:Join a panel of distinguished experts and industry leaders to help shape the priorities and activities for NECHPI in 2022. NECHPI has an excellent panel of experts to provide perspectives on the national and regional trends for CHP\, as well as CHP’s potential to utilize low and no-carbon fuels to fill roles in long-term decarbonization plans. NECHPI will also discuss how to distinguish the societal and environmental benefits of CHP now\, in order to create a pathway for its role in a zero-carbon world.

But what does it actually mean (and not mean) to be an ally? Many well-intentioned professionals would like to be allies but they’re not sure how. They have concerns about overstepping or misreading situational cues. Or\, they feel uncomfortable having conversations about what support looks like to others. \nRegardless of your background\, role or level\, you can be an ally. In this interactive discussion\, you’ll learn how. WEST will: \n\nDebunk some of the myths around allyship\nExplore common challenging scenarios in breakout sessions and strategize how to show up as an ally in each one\nDiscuss key strategies and action steps to serve as allies to others.

However\, that will not occur overnight. Renewable energy sources such as hydrogen\, wind\, and solar are still a long way away from being the predominant source of energy. Whether you like it or not\, our economy will continue to rely on fossil fuels as it builds towards a greener future. So\, what do we do in the meantime? \nCarbon capture offers the potential to dramatically reduce CO2 emissions from large stationary sources. It comes in many practical forms too. CO2 pipelines\, geologic sequestration wells\, direct air capture\, forestry\, and even aquaculture are just some of the methods used to sequester CO2. This market potential has not gone unnoticed. The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill earmarked billions of dollars towards the development of carbon capture projects. Exxon Mobil Corp.\, Royal Dutch Shell\, and TC Energy have all announced major carbon capture projects as part of a drive to reduce both their own and their customers’ emissions. Exxon is even forecasting that carbon capture could become a $2 trillion market by 2040. However\, some critics think that carbon capture is too expensive. Others think that is just a way for fossil fuel companies to keep operating without actually changing the way they do business. Can carbon capture deliver on its potential? Can it help us achieve our emissions reduction goals? \nThe Fuels Committee of the Northeast Energy and Commerce Association invite you to attend a special Winter Wednesday Webinar that will explore this topic. Hear from our panel of carbon capture industry experts about the latest developments and technology being implemented around the world.

Corporations and government agencies increasingly embrace supplier diversity\, but diverse businesses still receive an appalling lack of contracts. How can we increase supplier diversity within clean energy to close the racial wealth gap and shape the larger economy? \nPlease join Browning the Green Space to discuss contractor support\, supplier diversity\, and energy efficiency for communities of color in Massachusetts and beyond. Through panel discussions with leaders from utility suppliers and energy service contractors\, we will explore how to build and strengthen a diverse contractor pipeline and ensure a fair distribution of contracts for both established and nascent clean energy solutions. Browning the Green Space will also introduce their new Contractor Accelerator program and welcome our Wells Fargo NREL Innovation Incubator (IN2) award partners to the community.

Many corporations are now seeking to connect and integrate specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their energy procurement decisions. They are rethinking what makes a project the “best” project to account for avoided emissions\, social & environment justice\, supply chain sourcing\, and local impact. Additionally\, most off-takers to date have tackled scope 2 emissions (purchased electricity and heat) via PPAs/ VPPAs. Yet scope 3 emissions (generated by suppliers and customers) constitute the largest source of corporate’s emissions\, which will be their next challenge to tackle.
