This report from Environmental Defense Fund and WSP USA summarizes the significant investments in the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem that have been announced over the past 8 years. This includes announced investments in EV, EV battery, and battery component manufacturing.

The passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act is driving a boom in green jobs with more than 15 states building new factories or production lines to manufacture electric vehicles, batteries, components and chargers.

We scoured SXSW, the Austin mega festival, for the coolest climate tech, climate talks, climate ideas. From the sublime to the ridiculous, here are a few of our faves.

This resource from EDF uses a set of core objectives to help governments, companies, investors, and local communities design and engage with decarbonization hub projects in a way that sets a new bar for industrial innovation.

A new, global hydrogen energy industry is poised to take off, attracting hundreds of billion of dollars in investments. However, hydrogen is an indirect greenhouse gas with a powerful near-term climate impact that is often overlooked. Scientists have raised concerns that hydrogen leaks could negate the expected climate benefits of using hydrogen energy. Real-world data on hydrogen emissions is lacking, but a groundbreaking new technology can help.

Environmental Defense Fund’s MethaneSAT will fill critical gaps in the capabilities of existing methane data satellites and be a powerful tool to accelerate climate action.

In this report, EDF establishes best practices for investors and companies seeking to credibly and quickly address methane emissions.

Earlier this month, the EPA closed its comment period on proposed oil and gas methane regulations. Here are some of the highlights from EDF’s public comments.

EDF developed a set of core objectives to help governments, companies investors and local communities tackle the tough issues and work collaboratively and proactively to design and engage with industrial hub projects in ways that are transparent, accountable and result in better outcomes for both people and the planet.

A new study from EDF and Carbon Mapper offers insights into just how much climate pollution specific oil companies may be responsible for.

Two reports commissioned by EDF offer valuable insights and recommendations on how to best design and evaluate clean energy and innovation programs.

There is extraordinary excitement today over zero and low carbon hydrogen. But can it live up to the silver-bullet hype?  To understand the tradeoffs, we compared the total energy required to perform the same tasks using either green hydrogen or direct electrification.

While transactions in the oil and gas industry can increase reputational, climate, and transition risks, they also present opportunities for industry players to lead on creating a new paradigm for oil and gas transactions that is more compatible with global net zero goals. A new report from EDF and Ceres outlines ways to take advantage of these opportunities.

The Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) is the new DOE office with $20B from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act with a focus on scaling up emerging technologies through demonstration projects. EDF offers pointers to help OCED have catalytic impact.

What will it take to decarbonize the gas distribution system? EDF and partners produced a new report setting out guiding principles and strategies to inform decarbonization of the gas utility and corresponding end uses.

Last month, EDF co-hosted a workshop in Houston on the state of zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in Texas. Partnering with Evolve, the Houston-Galveston Area Council and Port Houston, we met at the NRG Center with dozens of industry experts, government officials, fleet managers and drivers to talk about the economic and environmental opportunities that transitioning to […]

EDF China video on how using voluntary carbon markets can help cut greenhouse gas pollution while providing an economic lifeline for the people and communities most at risk.

Misinformation hacks your brain. Here's how you can fight for the truth, starting with the most significant climate law Congress has ever passed.

By Ben Hmiel and Jon Goldstein After three years of actively collecting methane emissions data in the Permian Basin, researchers have gained new insights that will make it easier to reduce emissions of the incredibly potent greenhouse gas methane. These insights are helping inform state and federal regulatory approaches at a critical time.  Download the […]

After decades of sailing under the radar, international shipping and its climate impact is gradually getting more attention. When designing new clean shipping routes, these criteria should be considered.

Analysis of supermajors' non-operated joint ventures with state-owned entities shows emissions reporting from these assets remains opaque. This is a significant opportunity for supermajors to raise the bar on methane action and scale emissions reductions quickly.

The most consequential U.S. climate law ever will provide a historic jolt to the electric vehicle market.

The zero-emission vehicle future is here: An 8,500% increase in truck deployments and commitments is proof.
