ASEAN cities are urbanizing rapidly and facing immense challenges in meeting rising demands for food, #energy, and water. Amid this pressure, how can urban environments be reimagined to prioritize resilience, #sustainability, and health? Enter the Integrated Urban Services (IUS) program! Launched in 2021 under the US-ASEAN Smart Cities Partnership, IUS aims to transform urban service provision in ASEAN cities. Led by NREL with implementation support from @Regenerative Impact Ventures, IUS worked with local leaders to develop climate-smart, integrated #infrastructure solutions tailored to regional priorities. Through technical assistance provided to Iskandar Malaysia and Cagayan de Oro, Philippines, IUS pioneered innovative business plans and market-driven approaches, addressing food security through the integration of food, energy, #water, and waste systems. Designed as replicable models, these initiatives promote high performance, low carbon regional #EconomicDevelopment through novel public-private partnership structures. 🔗 Curious about how IUS is paving the way for a sustainable urban future? Dive into the program's summary brochure! https://bit.ly/3zmmvJM

DC fast charging ports charge #EVs in the least amount of time and are a critical part of the national charging network. And their numbers are growing! The number of public DC fast charging ports in the United States grew by 9,932 in 2023, a 35% increase. In fact, DC fast charging ports increased by the greatest percentage compared to other charging levels.

“I didn't have anybody to look up to, at least in that someone that looked like me that was doing science. I didn't know that was an option.” At NREL, we’re working to inspire young innovators of all backgrounds to become leaders in the world of renewable energy. In the latest episode of the #NRELpodcast, join our co-hosts Kerrin and Taylor as they discuss the importance of introducing young minds to the diversity of opportunities within #STEM fields. Blending art and science through interactive activities, learn how we’re partnering with schools and community organizations to empower the next generation of renewable energy leaders through our new STEaM initiative. https://apple.co/4f0NquW
