<p>NCEF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission of supporting a thriving, affordable, and accessible clean energy economy by providing financial and technical resources to Nevadans. NCEF works with communities, Tribes, affordable housing developers, schools, local businesses, contractors, governments, utilities, and others to accelerate clean energy growth, reduce energy costs, create jobs, and address climate change. NCEF supports a wide range of clean energy measures, including efficiency retrofits and electrification in homes and commercial buildings, zero-emissions vehicles, and residential and community solar and energy storage projects.</p>
<p>NCEF was created in 2017 by state legislation as the state&rsquo;s &ldquo;green bank,&rdquo; an institutional model successfully implemented in over a dozen other US states. Green banks are mission-driven institutions that use innovative financing to accelerate the transition to clean energy and address climate change.</p>
<p>NCEF is poised to grow significantly in the coming year due to NCEF&rsquo;s role in administering federal clean energy funds. NCEF already administers approximately $10 million in federal clean energy funds and expects to administer over $100 million in the coming years.</p>

We seek individuals who are critical thinkers, driven to take on big challenges, open to introspection, excited to connect with a diverse and inclusive set of stakeholders, and act with a high degree of integrity. Importantly, we seek individuals with a shared passion for clean energy, combating climate change, and having a positive impact on the lives of Nevadans.</p>
<p>NCEF is currently a hybrid organization that values strategic in-person collaboration. While employees can conduct the bulk of their work remotely, you should expect regular in-person meetings and working days. All NCEF&rsquo;s employees are located in Nevada.</p>

<p class="notion-text__content"><span class="notion-semantic-string">Achieving net zero requires a deployment of clean energy technologies at a speed and scale which has no historical precedent. In the transition from fossil fuels to a highly electrified system based on durable metals, the supply of critical minerals is an acute bottleneck.</span></p>
</div>
<div id="block-7492bfe315714c19864845344a7de60e" class="notion-text">
<p class="notion-text__content"><span class="notion-semantic-string">The supply gap is most acute for copper, the backbone of clean electricity across power grids, solar, wind, electric vehicles, and more. These will double copper demand within two decades, reaching 40 million tons /year by 2030 and 57 million tons /year by 2050.</span></p>

<p class="notion-text__content"><span class="notion-semantic-string">Bridging that gap will be notoriously hard. Ore grades now typically contain 10 times less copper today than before 2000. Mining and refining activities are geographically concentrated. Lead times for new mines can reach 20 years. Local environmental impacts should be minimised, especially across waste, pollution and water stress.</span></p>

<p class="notion-text__content"><span class="notion-semantic-string">Methane is a very special greenhouse gas. Although it remains only 10 years in the atmosphere, its warming impact is 85x as high as CO2 on a 20-year time scale. Overall, it accounts for a third of the global temperature increase since the industrial revolution.</span></p>

<p class="notion-text__content"><span class="notion-semantic-string">Enteric fermentation alone accounts from 30% of anthropogenic methane and 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. This digestive process occurs in the rumen, the stomach of ruminant animals (cattle, sheep, goats).</span></p>

<p class="notion-text__content"><span class="notion-semantic-string">Various mitigation strategies have been proposed. Feed additives like 3NOP, bromoform, and seaweed can partially tackle enteric methane in feedlots, about 10% of cattle population. Capture systems could be a useful yet marginal solution. Methanogen vaccines would be transformative, but commensal microbes are proving insanely hard to deactivate. </span></p>
