A great overview of the implications of the new Open Grid Emissions Initiative! Excited to see the story of our research journey told here.
Singularity CEO Wenbo Shi says 24/7 clean energy needs open, transparent grid emissions data. The startup's Open Grid Emissions initiative has unveiled new data+methods to measure hourly U.S. grid emissions, and wants others to join the open-source party: canarymedia.com/articles/emi…

Excited to share the launch of the Open Grid Emissions Initiative, a dataset of validated hourly grid emissions data and platform for collaboration on ongoing power sector emissions research! Would love to hear from #energytwitter how you will use this data!
Today, we’re announcing the The Open Grid Emissions Initiative, which provides hourly grid & greenhouse gas emissions data, for free. You can learn more about the initiative by reading our post here bit.ly/3KuJu76 Thanks to @CatalystCoop for kickstarting this project!

Hey @joshdr83 do you know any R/python enthusiasts that need a project? I have a pipe dream to convert the EPA's CAMD-EIA crosswalk code from R to Python...

Excited to share more about the 24/7 renewable energy research that I've been working on for the past year with @PenCleanEnergy. This new paper lays out the vision, and part 2 (coming soon) will share the results of the modeling I've been working on with the PCE team.
Since our 2016 inception, we've pushed the boundaries in clean energy procurement and deployment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That includes our unprecedented goal of delivering 24/7 renewable power by 2025. Why we’re doing it and what comes next: peninsulacleanenergy.com/our…

You know it's the week after Halloween when every time a colleague asks "Any questions?" at the end of a presentation, all you can think of is them saying in the voice of David S. Pumpkins

Cody’s comments got me thinking about feasibility of another part of California’s plan, the 1000 MW 2026 clean firm power mandate. Geothermal can do that with just 2% of the current US drilling rigs. Math and context in a short thread.
Fun fact: California's IRP has a baseline plan with more stationary batteries being installed between 2022 and 2024 than the entire global production of stationary batteries is expected to be in 2022.

If the world is to successfully tackle #climatechange, we must rapidly advance the #decarbonization of #energy systems. @Google is helping light the path. Learn more from @Maud_Texier during @EPA's event 9/22. #247CarbonFreeEnergy #ClimateWeek Register⬇️ bit.ly/EPA-247-webinar

We'd like to apply for this @ClimateChangeAI Innovation Grant to develop more ML based infrastructure for wrangling US energy system data, but we'd need a Postdoc or Faculty academic partner. Anybody interested? It's $150k for 1yr, due Oct 15th. climatechange.ai/calls/innov…

#247CarbonFreeEnergy seems to be a hot topic on #energytwitter right now... want to understand the big picture implications of this trend? Join us for a discussion hosted by the @EPA #GreenPowerPartnership on 9/15! Register here-> bit.ly/3B4EAb4

This is probably a very specific problem to have, and nobody cares, but has anyone else noticed that @NREL studies cannot be opened or downloaded from Firefox? Seems to work on Chrome ok

Americans should have the best transportation services and infrastructure in the world. Period. xitter.cf/jenzhuscott/status/136…
Beijing - Shanghai distance (1100km) slightly shorter than Boston to Chicago (1300km) Amtrak takes 21 hours 35 mins The High Speed Train 🚆 in 🇨🇳 takes 4 hours 18 min and costs half. The infrastructure difference between the 2 countries is night and day.

A great article on perhaps one of the most exciting innovations in voluntary renewable energy procurement today. Plus I achieved a professional goal to get mentioned in a GTM article ;)

A big deal! Hourly renewable energy data is necessary if we want to send a demand signal for renewables when and where it is needed to help decarbonize the entire grid.

Can somebody explain clubhouse to me and how it's different from a conference call?

Hey #energytwitter would it be useful to have a database of load profiles for different types industrial facilities? I've thought about proposing as a research project but don't know if it would actually get used...

Wow sounds like this is a popular idea! I'm curious to hear more how people might use such data.
