A recap and video of this event is available here.
The Biden Administration has ambitious climate goals, and the Department of Energy (DOE) is a critically important player. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provided new authorities for DOE’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) to advance the commercialization of key technologies that are critical to our nation’s economic and climate goals—serving “a bridge to bankability for innovative and high-impact energy technologies.” Join us at 11 a.m. ET on Thursday, May 12 for a conversation with Jigar Shah, director of the DOE Loan Programs Office, on the department’s role in the future of U.S. clean energy demonstration and deployment.
