    The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) invites you to a briefing about the Department of Energy's Energy Earthshots, which are designed to rapidly break down market barriers and scale up innovation in eight key sectors to address the climate crisis. From enhanced geothermal energy and floating offshore wind to low-carbon industrial heat and affordable home energy, these Earthshots set ambitious goals to tackle the critical energy challenges of our time. 

    Panelists from the Department of Energy and its partners will share the latest updates on each Earthshot's progress. They will describe tangible work undertaken at the federal level, at national labs, and across the private sector to turn the Earthshot targets into reality. Speakers will also explore how the different Earthshots complement each other to advance a just and equitable transition to clean energy.

    • David Turk, Deputy Secretary, Department of Energy | @ENERGY
    • Carolyn Snyder, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Buildings and Industry, Department of Energy | @ENERGY
