California Clean Industrial Hub

California is a national leader in climate policy with state mandates to achieve net zero emissions by 2045. Yet, California is the third largest industrial emitter in the nation, with the state’s refineries, trucks, airports, ports and other industries responsible for 80 million metric tons of CO2 in 2022 or 6% of total industrial emissions in the United States.

Meeting our collective global climate goals requires building more than 700 net-zero industrial projects and purchasing 7 million zero-emissions trucks by 2030. Most of these projects will occur in regional industrial hubs in places like California where the physical, social, regulatory, …

Texas Gulf Coast Clean Industrial Hub

Texas has an opportunity to lead the new era of clean industrial development.

Texas has a long history of energy leadership. The state’s decarbonization journey began two decades ago with early investments in renewable energy leading Texas to be the number one producer of wind power in the United States. Looking to the future, Texas is forecasted to produce 50 percent of the clean hydrogen that will be made in the United States by 2050. In addition to climate benefits, clean industries in Texas can create more than half a million jobs and spur $100 billion in investments in the …

US National Power Demand Study

New data reveals the U.S. is facing a historic opportunity: electricity demand is projected to surge 35-50% by 2040, driven by domestic manufacturing growth, data centers, and mass electrification.

A landmark study coming later this month—conducted by S&P Global Commodity Insights and commissioned by the American Clean Power Association with the support of additional partners (below)—will reveal how America’s domestic energy resources must be mobilized to meet this challenge:

– Record-Breaking Growth: The next decade will require more new electricity than any period in our nation’s history
– All-of-the-Above Solutions: Wind power, solar energy, energy storage, natural gas, and nuclear …

Meeting the Methane Challenge: How the U.S. Can Reach Its 2030 Goal

According to the international scientific community, it is essential to cut methane emissions at least 30% by 2030 to avoid runaway climate change. Otherwise, increasingly severe wildfires, storms, droughts, glacial melting, and sea rise will threaten to destroy life as we know it.

Methane (CH4) is a much more potent greenhouse gas (GHG) than carbon dioxide (CO2) and is already responsible for a third of global warming since the Industrial Revolution began. 155 countries including the U.S. have signed on to the Global Methane Pledge, committing to cut methane emissions at least 30% from 2020 levels by 2030.…

Emissions Accounting for the Hydrogen Production Tax Credit: Key Gaps in the 45VH2 GREET Model

The Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies (GREET) model is used to determine the lifecycle emissions of various energy sources, expressed as carbon equivalent emissions, and creates the framework for many monetary and market incentives related to energy production. In some cases, the values, assumptions, and calculations within each GREET model have the power to allow dubiously credible fuels to be classified as clean energy and benefit from supportive tax credits and fuel standards. Developed by the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory and first released in 1995, the GREET model has been updated and developed …

Understanding the 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit: Requirements, Exceptions, and Project Impacts

The U.S. Treasury Department released final guidance on the 45V Clean Hydrogen Production Tax Credit in January 2025. While the guidance did contain the vital “three pillars” of incrementality, temporal matching, and deliverability, which are essential for ensuring hydrogen production does not lead to a massive increase in grid emissions, it also contains several concessions to industry lobbying that have the potential to jeopardize emissions reductions.

Clean Energy Group has produced a 3-page primer on 45V explaining how the 45V tax credit is calculated; how lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions are determined; how emissions are assessed for the electricity used to …

Survey Results: Electric Vehicles Impacts and Opportunities

Electric cooperatives have been active in developing programs to meet the needs of their members as
they increasingly electrify their modes of transportation, whether that be residential consumers with light
duty vehicles or their commercial and industrial consumers that are electrifying fleets. This report
explores the impacts and opportunities presented by electric vehicles (EVs), drawing on existing
research and insights from a recent survey conducted among our cooperative members and other electric
cooperatives. The findings are categorized into five key areas:

1. EV Education & Outreach
2. EV Rebates Rates & Incentives
3. EV Charger Infrastructure Development
4. EV Charging …

Meeting Grid Challenges with EHVAC and HVDC Transmission

This playbook explores high-voltage transmission solutions essential for meeting future energy demands.

As the energy industry faces mounting pressure to reduce emissions through the integration of wind, solar and other renewable energy sources, U.S. electricity systems are undergoing a significant evolution. At the same time, experts predict that electricity consumption from data centers, artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency could double in the next three years.

To meet future power demands and ensure that power is delivered where it’s needed on the grid, the energy industry must fundamentally adjust its approach to transmission solutions. This playbook explores the capabilities and use cases …
