Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting is a critical tool for governments, businesses, and climate advocates to understand progress toward emission reduction goals over time, but local, state, national, corporate, and global methods use varying types of accounting systems, which creates complexity.

Jade Sauvé presented a webinar demystifying jurisdictional and corporate emissions accounting methods.

With the 2024 election in the rearview mirror, the CETI team and Board are assessing the impact that local, state and federal results may have on achieving an equitable clean energy transition in the Northwest.

Jeanne presented findings from Net-Zero Northwest and some current CETI projects to an energy policy class at University of Washington’s Evans School.

CETI’s October newsletter highlights our impact in the region, continued work on Oregon’s Energy Strategy, updates to the Northwest Clean Energy Atlas, a series of infographics that demystify electricity, and an upcoming webinar on emissions accounting.

Ruby and Eileen presented Idaho-specific findings from CETI’s Net-Zero Northwest study to the Idaho Climate Forum.

Ruby presented on a panel about electrification and decarbonization at the Washington State 2024 Solar Summit.

As the leaves begin to turn, CETI is also experiencing changes. Learn about exciting staff and program updates in our September newsletter.

August was exceptionally productive as the CETI team pushed hard to finish multiple projects with end-of-the-summer deadlines.

The summer is flying by. The CETI Team is working hard to stay on track with our many projects, as well as get into the mountains and out onto the water as much as possible to appreciate what we are trying so hard to protect and preserve.

In June, CETI was hard at work on projects in Oregon and Washington, dug into issues around transmission, welcomed a familiar face back to the team, and secured some exciting foundation grants.

Research Analyst Jeanne Currie takes a deep dive into transmission – what it is, why it matters for the clean energy transition, and how a more effective, centralized process for transmission planning could help the Northwest achieve decarbonization.
