Friends, 

Please join us tomorrow for what will be an uplifting conversation about our efforts to battle climate change by accelerating vital clean technology innovation……

Friday, April 1st 1pm ET - DOE's Jigar Shah on Financing the Energy Transition - Please join us for a what promises to be an interesting and timely talk with Jigar Shah, Director of the Loans Program Office of the United States Department of Energy. Jigar will be discussing how DOE’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) supports building a bridge to bankability for scale up of innovative technologies. Jigar will also discuss the uniquely American approach to commercialization and the role that markets can play in meeting the President’s energy transition and climate goals. Finally, he’ll touch upon on how DOE and the private sector can work together to best leverage tools to unlock trillion dollars in the energy sector.

Jigar is an old friend, and considered by many to a true visionary in this space.  We are pleased to help bring more awareness of this vital work to the NDN community, as Russia’s aggression in Ukraine has made the race to decarbonize more important than ever.  Our discussion will take place this Friday at 1pm ET via Zoom.  RSVP here.  It is free and open to all, invite friends and colleagues.  All are welcome.
