WattCarbon

Prepping for the big release on Thursday. M&V in the Registry.

It was exactly nine months ago that we launched the OpenEAC Alliance. Read our first post here explaining what we wanted to do. https://lnkd.in/gRAruGJy On Thursday, we're going to have some big announcements related to the OpenEAC Alliance work. A lot has happened in nine months!

Congrats to True Ventures on releasing the Climate Compass report - and thanks for including us! Check it out for 50+ brilliant companies doing the hard work to make global decarbonization a reality!

Spent some time this weekend thinking about what's next for the energy decarbonization movement. - Stakes are higher for justifying investments. Have to get serious about M&V. - Will be a bottom-up movement for a while, driven by communities that care. - There's still an air of inevitability to it all.

Your decarbonization investment can help take the whack-a-mole out of night-time electricity usage. Heating and hot water together make up two-thirds of residential energy use and 10% of global emissions. At night time, emissions can be even worse. When the sun is down, the grid is dirtier, and access to clean energy is tougher. WattCarbon partner Harvest is tackling this head-on with a simple, powerful approach: smart thermal batteries that store clean energy when it’s cheapest and greenest. Jane Melia, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Harvest says it best: “With our tech, people buying Harvest watt-hours are truly getting the cleanest electrons.” The benefits for corporate investors? ??? Accelerate new, distributed clean energy projects ?? Achieve permanent emissions reductions ?? Support local community impact goals ?? Decrease your Scope 3 ?? Learn more about how your company can build its decarbonization portfolio, today: https://lnkd.in/e2bzHJQc Support decarbonization that drives the cleanest and cheapest watt-hour possible on a more sustainable grid by browsing investment opportunities on the OpenEAC Exchange. ??

For companies committed to decarbonization, Harvest's Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) open doors to impactful electrification investments beyond your own operations. And since home heating and hot water drive two-thirds of residential energy use, and create 10% of global emissions, we know that corporate investment is not only helpful, it's imperative to scaling and accelerating solutions. Why invest? ??? Accelerate new, distributed clean energy projects ?? Achieve permanent emissions reductions ?? Support local community impact goals ?? Decrease your Scope 3 “By combining heat pumps with affordable thermal storage, we can electrify every home without adding strain to the grid, at scale,” says Jane Melia, Ph.D., Harvest Thermal’s CEO and co-founder.

Heat pumps are great—but can we make them smarter to cut more carbon? Jane Melia, Ph.D. from Harvest thinks so. By pairing heat pumps with smart thermal storage, Harvest ensures the cleanest watt-hours are drawn, stored, and used at just the right times—cutting emissions by up to 90%. Discover how your investments into Harvest's Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) can open doors to impactful electrification that cuts pollution, builds grid resiliency, and decarbonizes buildings, in our latest ‘Every Watt-Hour Tells a Story’. #cleanenergy #decarbonization #heatpumps #renewableenergy #EACs

Meet the WattCarbon team this week at #VERGE2024 by Trellis Group. Our co-founder & CEO McGee Young, head of marketing & partnerships Sarah Emery, and product manager Julia Bunte-Mein will be there in full force, Oct 29-31. If you're a decarbonizer with sustainability goals, we'd love to share investment opportunities around buildings and whole value chain decarb. Drop us a note, [email protected]. #Decarbonization #CleanEnergy #CleanEnergyInvestment

Did you know –?the plastic industry's annual emissions are four times greater than those of the aviation industry? If you want to join others in taking action, join the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty. More information ?? https://lnkd.in/gqr4Z-7J

"You can't pick and choose the electrons!" ICYMI: Lincoln speaks with McGee Young, founder and CEO of WattCarbon, about the complexities of measuring and valuing climate impacts from clean energy investments. They discuss the significant financial investments in renewable energy, the challenges of accurately measuring carbon impacts, and the need for innovative solutions beyond renewable energy credits to support both decarbonization and equity. Some key takeaways: - The world is investing trillions (with a "t"!) in renewable energy. - Corporate investments in clean energy are driven by survival. - 50% of emissions reduction potential lies in the last mile of energy use. - Renewable energy credits often misrepresent actual climate benefits. - Outdated metrics hinder accurate carbon impact measurement. - Valuing clean energy should include environmental justice and resilience. - Equitable financing solutions are essential for energy access.
