RTCC Newsletter: Industry Insights, Member Updates, and More

Dr. Deb Wojcik

Message from the Executive Director

Last week, we joined 850 of our colleagues at the State Energy Conference of North Carolina. Leading the Innovative Technology and Deployment track, we had the opportunity to bring together experts on beneficial electrification, next-generation energy storage, carbon capture technologies, innovative municipal deployments, and leading university-industry partnerships.

In combination with our Cleantech Catalyst event on EV charging infrastructure technologies, we at RTCC are inspired by the people and organizations working to realize our clean energy future, in North Carolina beyond. Though much has been done, there is still much more to do. The scope and pace of cleantech advancements needs to continue to expand if we are to reach out decarbonization goals. Please reach out to us - we are eager to collaborate!
