GreenFin 23

REsurety is excited to be joining a panel with other industry leaders.

Greenfin: The Premiere Sustainable Finance and Investing Event, June 26-28, 2023 at The Omni Seaport, Boston, MA.

REsurety will be attending the GreenFin 23 event on June 26-28 in Boston. REsurety’s Co-Founder and CEO, Lee Taylor, will be on the panel, Going Beyond Megawatt Hour Matching on June 26th at 4:00 pm, along with Amazon, HASI, and Putnam Investments. Learn more about the session below.

Title: Going Beyond Megawatt Hour Matching

Description:
The release of the Scope 2 Guidance in 2015 coincided with significant growth in corporate voluntary procurement. It has been foundational to corporate decarbonization strategies ever since.

Corporate buyers, developers, NGOs and investors are ready to embrace an accounting framework that moves beyond the current approach of megawatt-hour matching to focus on emissions impact. Is it time to update corporate emissions accounting standards to ensure that clean energy investments maximize electricity decarbonization?

Session Speakers:
Faraz Ahmad, Head of Net Zero Grid, Amazon
Chad Reed, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives and ESG, HASI
Katherine Collins, Head of Sustainable Investing, Putnam Investments
Lee Taylor, Co-Founder and CEO, REsurety

UVM Research Week 2023

The second annual Research Week will be held April 17-21, 2023.

UVM Research Week

REsurety is excited to be attending The University of Vermont’s second annual Research Week. Our UVM alumni, Marion Cundari and Austin Thomas, will be representing REsurety at the event.

Marion will also be a part of a panel during the Vermont Clean and Resilient Energy Conference & Networking Event on Monday, April 17th, from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm.

About the panel:

This UVM Research Week event will highlight opportunities for UVM and the Vermont Clean and Resilient Energy Consortium (VCREC) – a statewide group of Vermont utilities and related industries committed to advancing the state’s clean energy goals through use-inspired research – to engage the next generation of clean energy innovators.

We’ll ask champions of the clean energy transition, as well as young alumni members of the UVM Foundation’s NextGen community employed in the energy sector the following questions:

  1. How can Vermont’s clean energy economy serve as an innovation workbench for the nation?
  2. How can we provide young alumni opportunities to contribute to the clean energy economy?

The second half of the event will allow students and alumni to network and explore job opportunities directly with these innovators.

Learn more about the panel here, or register to attend the panel here.

About UVM Research Week:

In celebration of UVM’s recent historic increase in sponsored research – and to celebrate UVM becoming a Top 100 Public Research University in the United States – the University of Vermont’s Office of the Vice President for Research is pleased to announce the second annual UVM Research Week – a celebration of UVM’s research, scholarship and creative works.

Session description: 

The past year has seen major disruptions in many power markets: extreme weather, the War in Ukraine/gas pricing, interconnection queue pauses, and other capacity market issues have affect forward price curves, risk assessment, and long-term project valuations. This session will discuss the state of US power markets, providing perspectives on pricing curves, project valuations, and the economic useful life of projects.

• Are capacity markets functioning properly or are they becoming a hindrance to renewable deployment?
• Will interconnection queue reforms, like the 2-year reviews pause in PJM and ‘first-ready, first-served’ enable more efficiency and lessen wait times?
• How are changes to forward pricing and energy futures affecting the bankability of projects, and what does the uncertainty created by the Ukraine War mean for projections and assumptions?
• Are the mid-term elections affecting assumptions in the power markets?

CERAWeek 2023

Lee Taylor

Maximizing & Measuring Carbon Impact: How to Operationalize “Emissions First” Principles

REsurety’s Co-Founder and CEO, Lee Taylor, will be at the 2023 CERAWeek conference in Houston, TX to lead the session Maximizing & Measuring Carbon Impact: How to Operationalize “Emissions First” Principles, on March 7th at 2:30 pm.

About the session

Leading clean energy buyers and investors have called for an evolution of carbon accounting standards – moving away from megawatt-hour matching and toward an emissions impact-centric system. That evolution requires more granular, accurate data, and the tools to make it actionable. In this session you will learn how marginal emissions data, which measures the carbon impact of consuming or generating energy at a given time and place, can be used to maximize the impact of clean energy investments, and to accurately measure that impact.

Between now and March 14, 2023, the creators of the GHG Protocol are accepting feedback on the accounting standard and how it should be improved. The GHGP has been successful in motivating hundreds of companies and institutions worldwide to invest in renewable energy, but when it comes to its Scope 2 emissions accounting approach, there is a need to refocus the standard on real-world impact.

During this recorded webinar you’ll hear from Faraz Ahmad (Amazon), Adam Reeve (REsurety), and Henry Richardson (WattTime) on a discussion for proposed GHG Protocol updates that drive greater emissions reductions. The session provides an overview of existing electricity accounting approaches, a break down of a new impact-centric approach to carbon accounting that climate advocates worldwide are rallying behind, and a discussion on how sustainability leaders can leverage this approach. There’s also a lengthy interactive Q&A after the presentations.

Watch the full recording below.

REsurety at VERGE 22

The Climate Tech Event

REsurety’s Adam Reeve, SVP of Software Solutions, will be part of the panel: Optimizing Batteries for Grid Decarbonization on October 26th at 9:00 am at the VERGE 22 climate tech event in San Jose, CA. He will be joined by other thought leaders from companies like Meta and Broad Reach Power.

Session description: 
Energy storage is the lynchpin to a clean energy future. But today, energy storage is optimized 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.
