Affordable Clean Energy Rule

On June 19, 2019, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the final Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule to enforce the rule of law, empower states, and support energy diversity. The ACE rule establishes emission standards in line with Goal 7 of the UN SDGs. As per the ACE rule, all states can create plans to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) at their coal-fired electricity-generating facilities.

The Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) Program

In January 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) launched a Clean Energy to Communities (C2C) Program, which enables communities across the country to transition to clean & green energy systems that are reliable, affordable, and represent local priorities. The C2C program will collaborate local leaders with DOE’s National Laboratories to help communities to transform their clean energy goals and ambitions into reality.

Clean Fuels Fund

The Canadian government invested $1.5 billion in the Clean Fuels Fund (CFF) to build new or expand existing clean fuel production facilities and promote green energy. Part of this is working towards a sustainable hydrogen strategy.


ALL GOALS:



7.1 By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services


(US) Current Knowledge:


Potential Solutions:

Essential markup policy


7.2 By 2030, increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix


Potential Solutions:

Expand very-small time energy collection through environment-appropriate clean energy such as solar panels, windmills, watermills, ocean mills.

Expand large projects in the categories above and minimize environmental impacts where possible by building on previously disturbed lands and using designs that are friendly to the local environment.


7.3

By 2030, double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency

7.a

By 2030, enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology

7.b

By 2030, expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries, in particular least developed countries, small island developing States, and land-locked developing countries, in accordance with their respective programmes of support
