The Net-Zero Northwest (NZNW) Workforce State Analysis examines the jobs that would be created or displaced in the four Northwest states if the region were on the path to achieving net-zero emissions.

This report, developed for the Washington Department of Commerce, provides technical analysis of the potential for developing green electrolytic hydrogen and hydrogen-derived fuels in the Washington; suggestions for the best uses for green hydrogen; considerations for permitting, siting, and environmental justice; and policy recommendations.

The Net-Zero Northwest (NZNW) Workforce Regional Analysis is the Northwest’s first comprehensive clean energy workforce analysis that examines jobs in the buildings, fuels, electricity, and transportation sectors that would be created or displaced if the Northwest were to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Economy-wide deep decarbonization pathways analysis to guide actions that will put Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington on the path to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

This project aimed to: (1) understand the barriers to decarbonizing buildings for the state’s rural and Tribal low-income, energy-burdened households, and (2) determine whether decarbonization strategies and clean energy development could address energy inequities in these communities.

This project provides analysis for six Washington manufacturing sectors—aluminum, concrete and cement, glass, iron and steel, pulp and paper, and wood products—to help stakeholders and policymakers understand the different methods for decarbonizing each of these industries.

The Clean Energy Transition Institute and the 2050 Institute developed Operation 2030 to frame and jumpstart multilevel mobilization to fully scale building decarbonization activities by 2030, with specific emphasis on time-critical strategic decisions and actions that must happen in the 2020s.

The Clean Energy Transition Institute commissioned Research Fellow Claire Buysse to perform a literature review of clean energy job studies in the fall of 2020 through February 2021, the result of which is Investing in Clean Energy Jobs: A Literature Review.

The first economy-wide analysis to examine decarbonization pathways mapped to the Northwest’s economic and institutional realities. The Clean Energy Transition Institute commissioned this study to understand how Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington could technically and economically achieve a low-carbon economy over the next three decades.

Case Statement for a deep decarbonization pathways study that would offer guidance to Washington and Oregon policymakers, advocates, and investors for developing climate policy by addressing the question: How does the Northwest decarbonize the built environment, transport sector, and electricity grid between now and 2050 and at what cost?

Summary and analysis of decarbonization pathways studies to inform Northwest policymakers, funders, legislators, local government officials, and climate advocates about how to advance a low-carbon/decarbonization pathways study for the region, particularly for Washington and Oregon.

Eileen edited this report authored by Seth Zuckerman and published by Climate Solutions examining the impact that electric vehicles could have on addressing climate change, as well has how the grid can provide the electricity required to power mass adoption of electrification.
