Recent federal policy signals are leading to uncertainty for both industrials and clean technologies. Policy and regulatory pathways for industry have not been well-defined within, much less across, jurisdictions.
But here’s some good news:
- Market trends continue to indicate strong private sector activity in support of a global lower-carbon industrial sector.
- Incentives that didn’t exist in 2020 are still available, even if pared down.
- New solutions at the state level are being developed to creatively bridge funding gaps.
- Private sector sources are organizing new responses to address policy shifts.
Today’s landscape is indeed challenging, but AJW’s expertise can help guide industrial stakeholders through the uncertainty to identify opportunities that support long-term objectives.
Our unparalleled technical expertise in federal, state, and local jurisdictions, coupled with our business acumen, helps identify the calm in the chaos to develop effective business and engagement strategies that support deployment, compliance, and financial success.

Novel Technologies
A complex suite of local, state, and federal regulations collectively work to drive down emissions. In recent years, numerous innovative technologies have emerged to support these regulatory requirements. But, in many cases, policies developed decades ago may not recognize such new or innovative technologies. Technologies may face barriers due to technical challenges, concerns about reliability and effectiveness, and insufficient cost analyses that may not fully capture the benefits of a clean technology. New programs must maintain technology-neutrality to enable these technologies to advance.
AJW provides:
- Intel to inform knowledge gaps
- Advanced understanding of the regulatory process and insight into pragmatic next steps
- Market and policy risk assessments
- Strategy development
- Targeted advocacy
