More innovation is needed to reduce emission in the harder to decarbonize industrial sector. BPC Action is glad to see @EPWCmte & @EPWGOP working on solutions.
📅 On Wednesday, November 15, at 10 AM ET, Chairman @SenatorCarper will lead a full committee hearing to explore opportunities for decarbonizing heavy industry — the third largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in our nation’s economy.

Thanks to @RepMMM & @chelliepingree for their (bio)massive bipartisan leadership on reintroduction of the Biochar Research Network Act! Maximizing the co-benefits of biochar to improve soil, produce energy, and capture carbon is a win-win for farmers and the environment.
