A useful learning and networking opportunity for anyone interested in clean energy: the Low-Carbon Hydrogen Accelerator Kickoff free online sessions on April 7. Here’s the description:
Join us on Thursday, April 7 to celebrate the kickoff of the Low-Carbon Hydrogen Accelerator, a first of its kind startup accelerator focused on advancing innovations that are key to enabling a low-carbon hydrogen economy in partnership with EPRI, Shell, the City of Houston, Greentown Labs and the Urban Future Lab at NYU Tandon School of Engineering.
Together with Greentown Labs and the NYU Urban Future Lab, EPRI and Shell recognize the need to accelerate the development and commercialization of low-carbon technologies required to enable economy-wide decarbonization. As leaders in the utilities and energy industries, respectively, with domain expertise, R&D facilities, and access to global customers, EPRI and Shell are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation in partnership with startups innovating at the cutting edge of low-carbon hydrogen.
