Advancing Carbon and Hydrogen Technologies

Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges faced by hydrogen and carbon technology startups, providing them with the tools, expertise, and partnerships needed to scale successfully:

CHILI (Carbon and Hydrogen Innovation & Learning Incubator):

• A six-month incubator program offering tailored workshops, expert mentorship, and access to cutting-edge facilities.
• Focused on accelerating startups in hydrogen production, carbon utilization, and related technologies.
• Includes sessions on hydrogen safety, techno-economic assessments (TEA), and advanced manufacturing.

Technology Scaling and Manufacturing Hub (TSMhub):

• Developing with stakeholders in 2025, the TSMhub will provide state-of-the-art facilities for prototyping and scaling technologies to commercial readiness.
• Supports startups at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 5-8, filling a critical gap in the Gulf Coast region through reducing supply chain gaps and costs for early production runs.

Lab to Market Program:
