Sectors
Mining & Critical Minerals
The need for easily accessible supplies of critical minerals and rare earth materials is foundational to the clean energy transition, and critical for most modern technology in use today across a broad range of consumer products. This rapidly evolving space is complex with stakeholders across the federal government, and Cascade Advisory can help you navigate those interconnected relationships, policies, and funding sources to protect and grow your business.
Forest & Wood Products
Issues surrounding forest carbon, biodiversity, and decarbonization of the built environment and manufacturing facilities will drive change, presenting opportunities and risks for stakeholders in the sector. Cascade Advisory understands the broad array of forest and wood products interests in Washington.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing and onshoring are critical to the success of the U.S. in the 21st century. Manufacturers have unique environmental, permitting, land use, and supply chain advocacy needs. Cascade Advisory understands how to advocate for the needs of both established manufacturers and those just building their first facility.
Emerging Energy & Climate Tech
New technologies aimed at achieving a net-zero future are rapidly developing. Electrification, EVs and their supply chains, hydrogen power, biofuels, batteries and energy storage, alternatives to critical minerals, additive manufacturing, and carbon capture and storage are all promising solutions to lower or remove carbon emissions. Cascade Advisory has the experience to help startups and venture capital firms navigate federal policy and funding opportunities.
