The energy transition continues to build momentum globally. ☀️ Wind, solar, and other green sources made up 74% of electricity generation growth last year, with 92.5% of new capacity added to the grid also coming from renewables, says a new @UN report.

Strong pipeline leak detection and repair standards will improve community safety, help Colorado meet its climate goals and potentially inspire other states’ leaders and agencies to take action. Read more here ⬇️.

From cutting deadly air pollution near airports to boosting long-term decarbonization, two complementary policy tools offer a clear path forward for cleaner skies. Read more here ⬇️.

Last winter, some MA households paid $400/month just to stay warm. 🥶. Heat pumps can offer major winter heating savings for 82% of MA homes with reformed electric rates.

We need hydrogen to be as successful a climate solution as it can possibly be. That's why we launched a major study with industry, academic + tech partners to measure H2 emissions and uncover practical solutions. Read more @hydrogeninsight @rachelparkes_

Hydrogen is a hopeful contender in the race to find clean energy solutions -- and for good reason. But as investments continue to pour into hydrogen energy development, H2 emissions in the real world have barely been measured. Until now.

Our search for orphan wells in SW Pennsylvania kicks off soon. We met with residents at a series of open houses last week to preview the technology + answer questions about surveys to uncover these wells and plug them. Via @BCRittmeyer / @TribLIVE:.

Heat pumps can offer significant winter heating savings for 82% of MA homes if outdated electric rates are reformed. Read more here ⬇️.

After constant blackouts post-Hurricane Maria, residents of Culebra, Puerto Rico took matters into their own hands. A collective movement toward energy independence launched a solar project success story. ☀️🔌 Via @GLISPA_discuss:

.@EPA's current rules on routine flaring are set to drive big pollution cuts. Estimates show emissions from associated gas flaring will drop 52,000 tons/year once standards for new and existing sources take effect. EPA shouldn't reverse this progress.

Global gas flaring hit a near 20-year high, says @WorldBank. U.S. flaring up for 2nd year in a row, wasting $63 billion in gas and polluting our climate. @epaleezeldin should stop giving polluters a free pass and keep protections in place.

.@WorldBank's new report found that flaring is up in Canada, wasting a valuable resource. @CanadianPM can finalize new rules to address routine flaring + #CutMethane, saving fuel that can heat homes in winter and build Canada's economy.

🚨 NEW @WorldBank report finds that global flaring has reached its highest level since 2007. Reducing flaring is possible — and critical to reducing emissions, improving energy security, and limiting harm to human health. Via @NiranjanAjit @guardian:

This summer, @EnvDefenseFund + partners hosted open houses in SW Pennsylvania to talk with residents about orphaned & abandoned oil & gas wells — many potentially leaking pollution in neighborhoods. Thanks to all who joined & shared insights!. Learn more:

Trucks and buses are just 10% of vehicles, but cause over 50% of deadly vehicle pollution. That means a small shift could have a huge impact. Zero-emission trucks and buses = cleaner air, fewer asthma attacks & healthier communities.
