Hosted by Launch Alaska and the Center for Transportation and the Environment, the 2023 Clean Transportation Leadership Roundtable was made possible with support from the Department of Energy Office of Technology Transitions. This free event focused on catalyzing zero-emissions transportation solutions in Alaska, with a special emphasis on the possibilities for hydrogen production and adoption.

Participants connected with fleet managers, government agencies, utilities, climate tech companies, and academia to identify barriers and opportunities related to low- and zero-emissions transportation development. Topics ranged from battery electric vehicle technologies to hydrogen supply and demand.
