SUMMARY:Clean Energy in Rural and Remote Communities
DESCRIPTION:Nearly one in six Americans live in a rural or remote community\, which often have higher energy costs and burden\, less resilient energy systems\, and fewer options for clean energy than their urban counterparts\, due in part to a lack of investment from private companies\, investors\, and the federal government. Small communities do not always have the resources to pursue clean energy options without external funding or technical support. \nJoin this session to explore: \n\nAre rural communities interested in clean energy projects? What are the main concerns?\nWhat are the practical steps for investors\, developers\, and others to best partner and engage with rural communities to ensure projects align with local priorities?\nHow can investors\, developers\, and others support local capacity in rural communities throughout project planning and implementation?\n\nDownload and View the Session/Presentation Deck\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nTanya Rucosky\nCommunity Resilience Partnership Coordinator\, Sunrise County Economic Council \n\n\n \nAustin Counts\nSouthwest Virginia Solar & Electrification Projects Manager\, Appalachian Voices \n\n\n \nBryna Lipper\nChief Innovation Officer\, Humboldt Area and Wild Rivers Community Foundation

SUMMARY:Power of the Purse: USG Procurement Moves Markets
DESCRIPTION:The Federal Government is working to modernize and protect its critical infrastructure—including 350\,000 buildings and 600\,000 vehicles—while leveraging its annual purchasing power of $630 billion to support cost-effective efficiencies in Federal operations. These efforts aim to enhance resilience while reducing emissions across Federal facilities and helping to improve the efficiency and security of Federal missions over the long term. \nTo support this modernization\, Federal projects are increasingly adopting advanced technologies and efficient practices to improve facility performance. Procurement standards prioritize high-quality\, American-made materials\, aligning Federal investments with long-term durability and resilience goals. Together\, these efforts encourage growth in U.S. energy and technology sectors\, enhancing the security and productivity of Federal assets. \nJoin CEQ\, DOE\, and industry leaders in this session to discuss: \n\nHow can U.S. energy and technology industries partner with the Federal Government to strengthen missions while creating business growth opportunities?\nWhat new pathways in procurement and asset management can help achieve efficiency and resilience goals while supporting market innovation?\nWhat energy and cost savings strategies are Federal agencies and industry prioritizing to save taxpayer dollars?\n\nDownload and View the Session/Presentation Deck\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nAnna Siefken\nDeputy Director\, Federal Energy Management Program\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n \nMary Sotos\nDirector\, Federal Energy Management Program\, U.S. Department of Energy \n\n\n \nThe Honorable Brendan Owens\nAssistant Secretary of Defense for Energy\, Installations\, and Environment\, U.S. Department of Defense \n\n\n\n\n \nMark Fowler\nSenior Director of Government Relations\, Ameresco

SUMMARY:National Clean Energy Investment Fund to reshape the landscape
DESCRIPTION:Through the National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF)\, a historic $14 billion has been awarded to three financing institutions that are working to build a financing network to ensure American communities have access to the capital they need to participate in and benefit from a cleaner\, more sustainable economy. This new financing network – including the Climate United Fund\, Coalition for Green Capital\, and Power Forward Communities – are focused on mobilizing private capital across tens of thousands of projects to provide accessible and affordable financing solutions for clean technology projects. \nPrivate-sector investors and project developers are critical partners in this effort. Join this session to explore: \n\nWhat is the $14B NCIF program and how is it impacting the US clean energy landscape?\nHow does NCIF financing compare to and complement other DOE funding and private capital?\nWhat is the opportunity for investors\, developers\, and others to partner with and invest alongside NCIF for maximum impact?\n\nDownload and View the Session/Presentation Deck\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nKirsten Stasio\nActing Executive Director\, U.S. Green Bank 50 \n\n\n \nBeth Bafford\nCEO\, Climate United \n\n\n \nEli Hopson\nChief Administrative and Development Officer\, Coalition for Green Capital \n\n\n\n\n \nTim Mayopoulos\nPresident and CEO\, Power Forward Communities \n\n\n \nAshley Allen Jones\nSenior Finance Advisor\, Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund \n\n\n

SUMMARY:USA Sourced Critical Materials: From Byproducts to Coproducts
DESCRIPTION:DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) has committed an estimated $176 million since January 2021 for projects that support critical minerals and materials exploration\, resource identification\, production\, and processing in traditional mining and fossil fuel-producing communities across the country. Initial estimates suggest that unconventional and secondary sources could provide significant amounts of the rare earth elements and other critical minerals and materials. For example\, wastes and byproducts from known fossil fuel reserves and other industries nation-wide currently contain more than 10 million tons of rare earth elements\, which is equivalent to more than a 300-year supply at the current rate of U.S. consumption. Energy and mining waste streams also need to be remediated\, so there is an opportunity to recover critical minerals during reclamation which puts the critical material recovery on a firm project timeline. \nJoin this session to: \n\nHear from project developers of unconventional and secondary sources of rare earth elements (REEs) and lithium (Li) in the U.S.\nDiscuss complementary DOE funding programs and EPA\, DEP remediation requirements\nHighlight opportunities for investors\, developers and other partners.\n\nDownload and View the Session/Presentation Deck\n \nSpeakers\n\n\n \nKwasi Ampofo\nHead of Metals and Mining\, BloombergNEF \n\n\n \nTodd Beers\nCOO\, Winner Water Services Inc. \n\n\n \nRemi Loiseau\nU.S. Lithium Manager\, ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions \n\n\n\n\n \nDr. Barbara Arnold\nChair and Professor of Practice in Mining Engineering\, Penn State \n\n\n \nRyan Peay\nDeputy Assistant Secretary for Resource Sustainability\, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management\, U.S. Department of Energy
