It shouldn't be a secret that
Colorado ❤️ Climatetech
There's a lot going on here in Colorado! With a unique mix of policy, people, and nature, Colorado has fostered a healthy climatetech industry and is on track to becoming a major climate hub.
Climate-conscious professionals are flocking to Colorado
Even with all of the hard work, the climate community is still fractured. Colorado Climatetech is focused on closing the gap between two worlds in CO: the companies and the workforce. Motivated professionals hoping to transition into climatetech are already forming communities through Terra.do, Work On Climate, and My Climate Journey. Record numbers of companies are raising capital and working hard to find talent.
COCT's series of hosted meetups seeks to bring these two worlds together with fun events. By working with a company sponsor, we provide an educational draw for professionals while giving hiring teams a chance to meet n' greet with professionals in their area. In other words, a win-win!

We learned how they prepare biomass like corn stover and wood chips, how they turn that feedstock into bio-oil with pyrolysis, how they want to use outputs to make green steel, and how they plan to grow rapidly this year. That includes hiring dozens of people in Fort Lupton for operations and engineering.
