Case Study: Northeast Biomass Thermal Working GroupNeed: After helping form a national trade association for the biomass thermal industry, advocates across New England and New York saw a need for a regional advocate for the development of the biomass thermal industry in the northeastern United States. They were looking for a small, low-cost, informal committee—not an official trade association or nonprofit—dedicated to influencing policy, regulatory affairs and public relations for the biomass thermal industry in the Northeast.Solution: TTC assisted these advocates in forming the Northeast Biomass Thermal Working Group (NEBTWG). NEBTWG aims to accelerate the adoption of biomass thermal technologies in the Northeast through grassroots-led advocacy and education efforts. Activities in this area are targeted towards state legislatures, government agencies, members of Congress, and other key leaders in the Northeastern U.S. TTC provides key staff to provide leadership, policy, and administrative expertise to NEBTWG's efforts.

Case Study: National Hydrogen AssociationNeed: Since its inception, the most consistent priority of the National Hydrogen Association (NHA) was hydrogen appropriations in the Department of Energy's (DOE) budget. Solution: TTC helped foster a congenial dialogue between DOE and Congress on the subject of hydrogen and fuel cells, culminating in the 2003 State of the Union message from President George W. Bush which elevated hydrogen and fuel cells to a Presidential initiative. Under TTC's guidance, the NHA was highly influential in getting legislation passed to benefit hydrogen and fuel cells, as well as funding the hydrogen and fuel cell program in DOE to the fullest extent possible. Staff was often asked by Congressional staff to assist in putting hydrogen-related subcommittee and committee hearings together. Staff also identified witnesses and helped in prepare testimony (live and for the record). Key Outcomes
