Clean technology solutions for the oil and gas sector exist at the intersection of operability and affordability.  Clean technology options exist at the intersection of brilliant ideas and comprehensive financial support.  This PTAC event will take participants along the journey of financial support from research funding for the development of those ideas, to equity/debt financing for new companies, to tax credits and carbon credits which generate net revenue streams for the ongoing support of new clean technology companies, and producers. 

Join us on June 19, 2023, at the Calgary Petroleum Club, in person, to learn how to get funding at various stages of the development and deployment of clean technologies.  A better understanding of the financial supports available can turn good ideas into good businesses.  This event is geared to everyone involved in the oil and gas clean tech space.  If you are a technology developer, learn about the financial supports.  If you are an oil and gas producer or service and supply company, you to can learn about ways to de-risk development and deployment of technology solutions being created to address those environmental footprint challenges.  If you are from government or a regulator, you can be more informed about how the clean tech ecosystem can support turning ideas into action.

We spend so much time talking about the technology options themselves, that we seldom consider the practicalities of running a business.  Here is an event where like-minded folks can network about how to address those pesky issues about money and paying bills.  And maybe in the meantime as we are doing that, we can increase the success of the sector in minimizing those environmental challenges. 

See you on June 19th. Space is limited so please register soon to avoid disappointment. Sponsorship opportunities are available.  Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.
