Energetics

Thank you to National Renewable Energy Laboratory for hosting this event around #cement and #concrete #decarbonization.Representatives from various organizations and backgrounds came together to discuss opportunities, solutions and challenges to reach net zero by 2050. It was a great occasion to hear from the community! I was honored to represent U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Energetics. Big shout out to Ana Aday for coordinating the event and for the tours. #buildingmaterial #energy #sustainability

The IEA publication examines global hydrogen production and demand worldwide, as well as related areas (e.g., infrastructure). Noteworthy progress for some early-stage technologies. Still a long way to go... #Hydrogen

October 2 is Energy Efficiency Day! Today, we acknowledge the vital role energy efficiency plays in building a more sustainable and resilient future. For decades, it has kept the lights on and helped keep the demand curve relatively flat – and it will continue to be essential in tackling the challenges ahead. We’ll need to think bigger and innovate on a larger scale, but by collaborating and addressing the issues together, we can pave the way for a more resilient energy future. #EnergyEfficiencyDay

We're so pleased to be supporting this global clean energy initiative--and so proud of Kirstin Janocha for her contributions. Brava! #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Collaboration #MI9

Takeaways from The Cadmus Group and Energetics webinar on the third year evaluation results of the California IOUs' EV charging infrastructure programs, which cover about 25% of all electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in the state, as well as EV infrastructure installed at schools, parks, and other public locations: 1) A ton of data was crunched to produce this report - it's probably the most complete dataset of actual installation timelines and charging behaviors in the US, supported by EVSE data, surveys, interviews, and site visits, as well as modeling and analysis to understand the market impact of these investments 2) Speaking of timelines, it was surprising to see that the average number of days from application to activation for MHD fleet sites was actually getting longer over time (from 2021 to 2023) - primarily because the newer sites were larger and more complex projects, and because supply chain delays persisted 3) It was discouraging to see that that only 20% of the MHD fleet sites evaluated in 2023 were managing their EV load - and that many HD and ESB sites could avoid charging on-peak, but didn’t. The evaluators recommended that IOUs contact program participants on an annual basis after site activation, and I know the IOUs are working to integrate more customer education on TOU rates and load management into their programs - but there's still a lot of work to do...

A reminder to join us for our discussion this Friday, 9/20, on California's utility EV infrastructure programs. #EVSE #ElectricVehicles #SustainableTranportation #Utilities

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a new report outlining strategic opportunities to advance forensic science in the United States. Energetics collaborated with NIST's Henry Swofford to develop this comprehensive roadmap, which addresses key challenges and provides solutions through research and standards. The report is based on extensive literature review and expert input from various fields and sectors. Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/gEe5AHr3 #ForensicScience #Roadmap #StrategicPlanning"

We’re thrilled to announce the ground breaking of our Energy Materials and Processing at Scale (EMAPS) facility. Spanning over 127,000 sqft, EMAPS is designed with adaptable workspaces that support rapid experiment configuration and interdisciplinary collaboration. The facility will integrate state-of-the-art #EnergyEfficiency technologies, including reclaimed gray water systems, heat reclamation, and all-electric infrastructure, helping us achieve #LEED Gold certification. EMAPS will enable researchers to work at unprecedented scales, tackling some of the most complex challenges in energy materials science and #CleanEnergy solutions. We look forward to the breakthroughs that this new facility will help catalyze! See more, https://bit.ly/3MJulki

Please join Cadmus and Energetics for a virtual presentation on findings from our third-party evaluation of California’s utility EV infrastructure ("make-ready") programs for medium- and heavy-duty fleets, schools, and parks. We will present lessons learned and findings on costs of utility-side and customer-side infrastructure, managed charging, site development timelines, program barriers, and much more. The presentation takes place on Friday, September 20, at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET. #ElectricVehicles #EVSE #SustainableTransportation
