Study Mission 4.0: Made in Washington

As you know, Clean & Prosperous Institute has led three study missions beyond our state borders to learn about innovations in carbon removal and greenhouse gas reduction. We’ve talked to elected leaders in California and Québec; heard from policy regulators in Sacramento and Montréal; toured innovation industry leaders in the areas of healthy soils, diesel fleets, sustainable communities, dairy digesters, hydrogen fueling, battery storage, clean energy manufacturing and much more.

This year, for our fourth study mission, we’re touring Washington state as we explore innovative approaches to clean energy, carbon removal, agrivoltaics, and other renewable energy technologies.

HIGHLIGHTS WILL INCLUDE:

• Learning about what Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is doing to help develop a power grid that meets the complex challenges of the future
• Exploring some of the exciting companies that have turned Moses Lake into a clean tech hub for not only our state but the country
• Visiting the Columbia Generating Station, the northwest’s only commercial nuclear energy facility, as Washington is leading the next generation of nuclear energy development
• Understanding how the basalt rock formations across Eastern Washington can be used to permanently sequester carbon
• And, as always, the networking opportunities available during this 4-day study mission are second to none and space will be limited
• Tour Spokane’s South Landing EcoDistrict, including the Catalyst Building, Morris Center, and Avista’s R&D center
• Learn about BrightNight’s Hop Hill Renewable Power Project which uses agrivoltaics and combines renewable solar energy and battery storage to compliment existing hydro and nuclear resources
