Description

In this year’s edition, the New Energy Challenge (NEC) will search for start-ups and scale-ups that are developing emerging technologies and digital solutions in the fields of carbon capture, storage, and utilisation.

The challenge is open to companies pioneering novel approaches to removing carbon from the atmosphere (e.g. through digital and nature-based solutions) and who want to drive forward the rapid decarbonisation needed to cool our warming planet. 

The NEC is a partnership between Shell (Shell Ventures, GameChanger) Rockstart, Unknown Group and YES!Delft and is open to European and Israeli start-ups and scale-ups. The winning companies will be given the opportunity to connect with investors and experts, unlocking the knowledge, contacts, funding, and support needed to scale their business and help them to drive change in the energy system.

If you're interested in this challenge, apply here until 1 May 2022
