We invite you to join us on Thursday\, January 30\, 2025 from 5:00–9:00 p.m. at Greentown Houston. \n\n\n\nThis event will be covering important topics like industrial decarbonization\, green hydrogen\, and the massive build-out of renewables in Texas. Learn more and register here. \n\n\n\nAgenda topics:\n\n\n\nThe Frontiers of the Texas Clean Hydrogen Economy \n\n\n\nPeople are trying to make clean hydrogen happen across the U.S.\, but the greater Houston area has an immense head start. It’s got legacy hydrogen production\, pipelines\, storage\, and massive industrial consumers. Now the question is\, can ambitious entrepreneurs break into that market with lower-carbon hydrogen that can clean up heavy industry\, trucking\, and shipping? \n\n\n\nWe’ll hear from leading instigators of the new hydrogen economy\, who are thinking big\, real big. They’re tapping the massive renewable energy in West Texas and planning pipelines to ship green hydrogen to market\, bypassing constrained grid infrastructure. Others are looking further afield\, and retooling Gulf Coast ports to transform hydrogen to ammonia and ship it to customers in Europe. On this panel\, we’ll go past the hydrogen basics by delving into the most intriguing projects underway to make it a reality. \n\n\n\nHow’d Texas become the biggest clean energy market? \n\n\n\nTexas proudly operates the most freewheeling\, market-based power system in the country. The state also has oustripped any other in large-scale wind and solar installations\, and could soon become the biggest grid battery market\, too — all without any particular climate policies to speak of. This success story is all the more vital to understand now that the presidential election has injected deep uncertainty into the future of federal clean energy policies. \n\n\n\nHow did America’s fossil fuel capital become its most aggressive adopter of clean energy? How is that sudden rise reshaping the energy markets\, and where is this trend going? We’ll break down these questions with the Texas-based journalists and analysts who have tracked this tumultuous episode in Texas energy history. \n\n\n\nMake sure to reserve your spot by getting a ticket today. Space is extremely limited! \n\n\n\nOn stage: Conversations with expert panelists from industry\, government\, journalism\, and advocacy. \n\n\n\nOff stage: Drink\, eat\, and socialize with clean energy leaders\, investors\, inventors\, public leaders\, and advocates. \n\n\n\nThank you to Premier Sponsor: Nextracker \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nQuestions?
