Download 2022 Post Show Report
We’re still working closely with the Decarbonization Leaders Network to develop the programme but you can be sure to join pragmatic and high-energy leaders from across North America to kick start valuable collaborations that will prime you for delivering your net zero plans.
In 2022, we gathered 180+ COOs, CTO & SVPs of decarbonization from across the hard-to-abate sectors to examine both short and longer term decarbonization models.
The event kicked off with site visits to Greentown Labs, NetPower and Cemvita Factory and we’re planning to include site visits in 2023 too. If you’re interested please do contact us.Â
Decarbonization brings a specific set of challenges for energy-intensive industries and to address them in 2022 we focused on the following key areas:
We plan to focus on these areas and more for 2023, providing more opportunities for in-depth discussion and problem-solving
Be sure to join 200+ leaders in Houston for strategic, pan-regional discussions and the opportunity to meet and forge essential new partnerships.
The site visit for DCNA 2022 included tours of NET Power Demonstration Facility, Greentown Labs and Cemvita Factory. Attendees were able to learn about different types of technology that will come to define the energy transition.
During the NET Power tour, attendees learnt about NET Power’s mission and technology – all of which is
focused on providing advanced clean energy through lower-cost power with zero emissions.
Greentown Labs, a climatetech start-up incubator, gave visitors an introduction to the C2V initiative and a chance to meet start-ups and find out about the opportunities to engage and support their development.
At Cemvita Factory, attendees were showed how synthetic biology is being applied to CCUS, converting CO2 to valuable products from chemicals to fuels.
“We learned from the Decarb Connect Greentown Labs site visit yesterday that startups from the most recent generation of startups have raised as much funding in their first round than start ups in the previous 9 years. Funding is picking up pace. As funding starts flowing with more intensity, these startups will go to market sooner and start disrupting the whole environment sooner. It’s coming.”
