Featured Speaker: Joseph B Powell, PhD., Director, Energy Transition Institute, The University of Houston

Expanding the energy supply and equitably transitioning to a net-zero-carbon economy is the grand challenge of our time.   Houston as the global capital of Energy and Chemicals can lead the way but must pivot to address emerging opportunities in clean energy and sustainable chemicals.    To this end, the newly formed Energy Transition Institute at the University of Houston, with Shell as founding sponsor, will provide thought leadership, develop the workforce of the future through expanded education and empowerment of U of H students, and drive top tier research with focus areas in hydrogen as an energy vector, circular economy for plastics and materials, and expanded programs in carbon management.     It’s an exciting opportunity to expand U of H’s prowess as The Energy University.   Come learn what we are doing and how you can get involved!
