USDA Grant Assistance for Rural Businesses in WA and ID
Program partners include:
​Are you a farmer, rancher, co-op, or other rural business owner faced with challenges relating to rising energy costs, new environmental regulations, or aging equipment & machinery?
​
Really Clean Energy is collaborating with local leaders, lenders, and grant partners to offer grant application assistance to rural business owners with buildings or operations in need of energy efficiency upgrades & renewable energy production. Typical projects include cost assistance for upgrades to water pumps, heat pumps, motors, lighting, insulation, VFD irrigation, geothermal, solar panels, and on-site power storage.
​
The RCE team is capable of assisting rural business owners from start to finish to identify needs and qualifying projects, complete application requirements, and install & commission new equipment, machinery, or other infrastructure.
Energy Reduction + Electrification
With roughly 40% of global CO2 emissions coming from buildings and homes, more and more states in the U.S. are implementing mandates around benchmarking buildings and monitoring for energy efficiency improvements and compliance.
In Washington State, Really Clean Energy is helping building owners and operators to navigate the requirements of the Clean Building Performance Standard including reporting baseline energy consumption data, planning & executing energy efficiency upgrade projects, and monitoring building and plant performance.

Energy Efficiency Curriculum and Program Launch
Really Clean Energy partnered with Spokane Home Builders Association to launch a new workforce development program called Frame Your Future designed to teach construction basics, energy efficiency, and sustainable building principles to students and adult job seekers.
​​
The program is an industry-driven solution which simultaneously addresses Spokane's housing crisis by fortifying the local worker training pipeline for residential construction and new carbon reduction efforts in the building sector by exposing the next generation of workers to energy efficiency practices used when building the home of tomorrow.

Net-Zero Emissions Feasibility Study for Spokane Region
Cities across the nation are responding to the challenge to meet aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets in effort to reduce the damaging effects of mankind on this planet.
​
RCE was contracted by Spokane building sector leaders to complete a net-zero emissions feasibility study. This study is meant to augment and support the City's Sustainability Action Plan by presenting a clear pathway focused on sound, best-practice solutions for consideration which, if implemented, would achieve zero net emissions targets on time with minimal energy cost increases and without prematurely eliminating low-cost, reliable energy sources.
​
The Washington State Clean Energy Transformation Act (CETA) calls for the decarbonization of homes, commercial buildings, and transportation systems with the intent of transitioning off fossil fuels in order to achieve zero net emissions and 100% renewable energy.
​
As we continue our effort with a statewide study around NZE solutions suitable for the diverse renewable resources available and regional climates of Washington State, we welcome further dialogue on the topics within this study.
Converting waste into renewable hydrogen for transportation
in Washington State
Really Clean Energy is collaborating with regional stakeholders including organizations in automotive, transportation, and waste management to design a demonstration project to convert rubber tires, non recyclable plastics, polystyrene, and other petroleum-based waste streams into clean, renewable hydrogen for transportation.
​​
Waste that would otherwise be buried in a landfill and end take hundreds or even thousands of years to decompose will be used as a fuel source to produce electricity and extract hydrogen for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCV). Every ton of waste diverted from the landfill results in carbon-free transportation for 1,000 cars for 28 miles and eliminates more than 860 pounds of petroleum-based carbon emissions.​
Really Clean Energy is spearheading the challenges with today's environmental regulations and the transition to a net-zero emissions world by working with businesses and local government to:
​​​
-
increase energy efficiency
-
​reduce carbon emissions
-
produce renewable energy
-
train tomorrow's clean energy workforce
​​​
Really Clean Energy's team of experts specialize in the analysis, planning, innovative design work, financing, and project management necessary to implement a successful project or program. The team brings significant value for organizations faced with the need to prioritize projects based on impact, urgency, and return-on-investment.

Mobile waste-to-energy system designed for rapid front lines deployment
Really Clean Energy collaborated with gasification technology experts to plan and design a compact, modular waste-to-energy system for rapid deployment.
​​
The system prototype would utilize high voltage electricity to safely break down waste material and debris and convert it to electricity for emergency power and grid restoration.
​​​​
The compact system can assist to:
​​​
-
assist with disaster relief efforts
-
eliminate the use of burn pits on U.S. military installations overseas
-
provide drop-in on-site waste-to-energy stations for business operations and communities in remote locations
