Calculating your Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions can be an onerous task. But it's necessary to understand where your organization stands, and how you're going to decarbonize your supply chain. This half-day, interactive workshop will get your organization on the path to understanding the source of your Scope 3 emissions, methodologies and options for gathering data, and what it takes to get your reporting verified as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

As the first generation of solar panels near the end of their first life, we are just beginning to recognize the magnitude of the future electronic-waste problem associated with renewable energy technologies. We’ll explore what it will take to process and reuse or recycle solar panels.

Energy storage is the lynchpin to a clean energy future. But today, energy storage is optimize to maximize money — not decarbonization. Join this session to hear about a collaboration that combines emerging technology and contract models to maximize emission benefits.

While the case study focuses on energy storage, the lessons are applicable to all deploying clean energy technologies. This model highlights how companies and stakeholders could ensure clean energy deployments are supporting rapid decarbonization.

As we transition to a clean energy system, there are vast opportunities to engage with and share co-benefits with tribal and indigenous communities. While tribal and indigenous communities have been historically excluded from clean and affordable energy, these communities carry wisdom and resilience pivotal to the clean energy transition and can engage in a mutually beneficial relationship with clean energy developers and customers. Learn about ongoing efforts to enhance the positive impacts of the energy transition with tribal and indigenous communities, including creating economic opportunities, and the role energy customers and developers can play in enhancing such positive benefits. 

As companies across sectors work to reduce emissions, leaders are tasked with navigating technologies, layered regulations, tax policy and funding options to reach reach targets.

Companies are faced with assessing investment impacts and trade-offs as they chart their course to decarbonize. This workshop will focus on the business models and approaches that are emerging to consider policies, technologies, and economics.
This interactive session will explore:

• What are the three questions that every company with a long-term carbon reduction must address to be successful?
• How are risks being assessed and mitigated?
• What are the key developments we expect to see in the next 12-24 months as signposts for emerging deep decarbonization business models?
• In the short-term, what are the tools and insights we can apply?

The term ESG — signifying environmental, social and corporate governance criteria — has exploded in the sustainability and climate world, becoming a new guiding principle for organizations and investors alike. What does ESG actually mean for the future of clean energy, and how can companies capitalize on interest to maximize decarbonization impacts?
