The foundation of the OGCC is to identify real-world problems experienced by the extractive industry. Issue identification allows CCIA to pursue a targeted, nation-wide call for applications; inviting applicants to pitch cleantech solutions to the specific problems. From the pool of applicants, the host partners then select the innovators invited to pitch at the Challenge.

For the 2017 program, the partners have selected 11 companies, eight of which are U.S. based, with three joining the program from Canada. Finalists selected to pitch their clean technology solutions to investors and decision-makers from the oil and natural gas industries include:

“The Oil & Gas Cleantech Challenge has become one of CCIA’s signature programs and is a proven technology pipeline for the oil and natural gas producers,” said Shelly Curtiss, CCIA’s interim executive director. “One of last year’s finalists decided to move to Colorado based on the outcome of the challenge, the Colorado energy ecosystem and the opportunity presented by the community. Together with partners from across the state and throughout the energy sector we are confident that this year’s finalists will again demonstrate cleantech’s ability to address technology challenges in the oil and natural gas industry.”
