The global nature of climate change requires everyone getting on board in order to make substantive efforts. Since governments haven’t done a great deal in addressing global warming - emissions are still increasing - perhaps private industry can facilitate people stepping in themselves.

Making the decision to add solar to your business is a wise financial choice. After all, when you lower your electricity bills and reduce your carbon footprint by making your own clean electricity, the financial rewards and positive environmental impact is felt for decades. You’ll also be joining the ranks of successful companies, like Apple, Target, and PepsiCo, who’ve made the switch to solar, along with helping make your business more attractive for current and future employees.

Gas-insulated switchgear owners face easy-to-miss, CARB-enforced emissions requirements. By JP Brisson , Aron Potash , R. Andrew Westgate , Kimberly D. Farbota , and Christopher C. Antonacci. Since 2011, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has regulated sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) emissions from gas-insulated switchgears (GIS). CARB’s SF6 Regulation applies to all entities that own GIS, including many entities that do not otherwise emit and report greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions such as wind

The world is full of moonshot ideas. But even the best ideas only lead to meaningful change if they can be deployed in the real world. Despite a growing class of investors that provide early-stage capital to help startups scale, there remains a critical gap in funding and resources for companies that have great ideas and technologies but need early adopters to prove their product/market fit.

(Hi to my blog readers. Happy new year. Below is my annual year-end review of sustainability that was posted at HBR.org right after Christmas. I'm believe it's the most viewed piece I've ever written for them (hundreds of thousands of views). Part of the reason may be the title, which attracted some heated exchanges. So let me clarify it a bit. The idea that there are "12 years left" on climate change comes from the big IPCC 1.5 degree report from October.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
