Integrated Product- and Entity-Level Carbon Accounting: Putting Concepts into Practice Read EFIF's synthesis of a ledger-based accounting framework that integrates product- and entity-level carbon dioxide

Low-carbon markets continue to develop at varying paces, emphasizing the need to accurately track and measure carbon emissions.

By synthesizing financial accounting principles and carbon mass engineering fundamentals, @efifoundation.org has put forward a ledger-based carbon accounting system.

YouTube video by Climate Group The missing piece of the climate puzzle - Ernie Moniz on mitigation strategies

“If we can address both legacy and current emissions, we are way ahead of the game.”

In a recent interview with @climategroup.bsky.social, @efifoundation.org Founder and CEO @ernestmoniz.bsky.social discusses the missing piece in mitigation strategies & importance of continued innovation.

Energy innovation isn’t always about big breakthroughs, it’s also about steady improvements that cut costs and expand access.

Thank you, @climategroup.bsky.social, for hosting these important conversations this week in New York.

DOE Staff Crunch Slows American Energy Innovation EFIF's policy brief highlights the changing DOE staffing and budget numbers, and what that means for America's energy future.

Now more than ever, the DOE should support end-to-end innovation to address energy demand. Building a staff that boosts U.S. competitiveness in the energy sector is the answer. @efifoundation.org's policy brief analyzes the impact of staffing cuts on DOE’s support of American energy innovation.

Suddenly, the Trump Administration Tightens the Vise on Wind Farms

I spoke with @nytimes.com's Lisa Friedman about shifting energy policy as electricity demand is rising. The U.S. needs strong coalitions with an all of the above approach, rather than favoring individual energy sources.

Ghosts of Hiroshima: 80 Years at the Nuclear Brink YouTube video by Nuclear Threat Initiative

In case you missed my conversation with James Cameron & @camanpour.bsky.social, you can watch below.

We discussed the power of storytelling to reframe the debate around nuclear weapons & how to mobilize the public to demand policies that pull us back from the nuclear brink.

It was a pleasure to speak at Aspen Ideas: Climate for a panel on “Rethinking the Rules for the Future of Carbon Accounting,” where I spoke with Mindy Lubber and @heidiheitkamp.bsky.social on necessary improvements to global carbon accounting.

This week, I had the pleasure of meeting with Governor @jbpritzker.bsky.social in Chicago to talk about the state's energy transition and his determination to make Illinois the world's center for quantum computing. Many thanks to @aspeninstitute.bsky.social for two days of stimulating conversations.

Geologic hydrogen has the potential to be a transformative force in decarbonization efforts. I look forward to discussing the future of this promising resource during an @efifoundation.org webinar on the current state of its exploration.

As major technology companies plan new data centers in Minnesota, growing energy demand presents various challenges and opportunities in the state. I’ll be discussing this increased demand with Ryan Long of Xcel Energy this May 28 on our upcoming webinar.

Those of us who participated in these dialogues must help carry on the late Pope’s legacy of caring for the Earth and its people.

In both convenings, Francis called attention to the welfare of the poor -- those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

The dialogues led to two signed statements by the participants advocating for carbon emissions pricing and for climate risk disclosure.

I was privileged to attend two Vatican dialogues in 2018 and 2019, when Francis gathered leaders in energy services and in global finance for frank, closed-door sessions on the global objectives of environmental protection, economic growth, and social justice.

I am saddened by the news of Pope Francis’s passing. From the beginning of his papacy, His Holiness urged us all to consider the moral and ethical dimensions of how we shape the future, as captured in his 2015 encyclical ‘Laudato Si’, On Care for Our Common Home.

I had the honor of being the keynote speaker at the launch of @cfr.org’s Climate Realism Initiative this week. @npr.org's Mary Louise Kelly moderated a discussion about the need to set achievable goals and build lasting coalitions to assure a clean energy future.

There is a tremendous demand for innovative nuclear solutions, expert says | Fox Business Video 'The Claman Countdown' panelists Ernest Moniz and Simon Irish discuss Terrestrial Energy combining with HCM II Acquisition to become the first public salt nuclear reactor developer.

It was a pleasure to join Fox Business and discuss innovative nuclear solutions like Terrestrial Energy’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor.

This reactor model uses molten salt as a coolant to reach higher heat levels, a critical step towards meeting rising energy demand.

The @efifoundation.org team had an action-packed week at #CERAWeek 2025. I was pleased to take part in conversations on accelerating innovation in low-carbon energy technologies amid a changing political climate.

We remain committed to the transition and look forward to continuing conversations.

Letter from the Founder and CEO: Political Change and Climate Challenges In his 2024 Founder Letter, Ernest Moniz recaps an impactful year at EFIF, and what the future holds for clean energy policy.

I am excited to be on Bluesky to continue promoting the transition to a clean energy economy.

This month, @efifoundation.org released our Annual Report, including a letter from me about our current climate realities, and the path forward.
