Lou -- Thank you so much! My CHFC colleagues were right that you are the man at DOE! Several companies said you would promptly get back. Thank you! Please do send our inputs to the team as some of these that may not have been included might be easy and quick adds. I look forward to the announcement. Shell's carbon-intensity and accounting SMEs are happy to be a resource for you and your team at any point. Glad to have you at DOE. Best, Marnie Funk

Marnie, Thanks for reaching out. I believe some of those items you asked for have been changed already. Having said that, if we can make quick changes as we did earlier, we'll add them to the model. In the very near future, we'll have a press release announcing the changes. Our first set of changes were done by end of March, I was told, but for some unexplained reason we haven't gotten the announcement out yet. Thanks again and stay in touch. LOU

Hi Lou,
Hope you are well. Can you help me get Shell's input on the next 45vGREET model (attached) into the right hands fairly quickly? In late February, Steve Winberg had asked Shell and others for any fixes we could recommend that would make 45v more workable for the sector. I sent this to Steve three weeks ago, then to Shawn Whitman two weeks ago (per below.) Didn't get a response back. I am hearing the update may be coming from DOE soon. As I haven't heard from DOE, I am not sure our inputs made it to the right hands -- assume Argonne team is drafting? Can you help me get this to the right team -- and maybe drop me a note to let me know that has happened so I can assure the business. 0 Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Best, Marnie Funk (b) (6)

Hi Shawn,
I hope you are well and enjoying your critically-important DOE role. We are thrilled and grateful to have your expertise at DOE!
Shell was part of a coalition that met with former Acting Under Secretary Steve Winberg about a month ago. He asked for a list of improvements to the next iteration of the 45v GREET model that could made the model more workable for the oil and gas sector. Shell teams identified five fixes that could improve the model. We requested a DOE meeting to share these ideas directly - but haven't heard back.
I understand the next iteration of the 45V GREET is imminent. Please find attached the five improvements Shell recommends. Could you please provide these to the team leading the work on the next iteration. We would welcome a conversation to discuss these and answer any questions if that works for the team.
