From its founding to its 250th anniversary, America's tradition of innovation and entrepreneurial spirit has made American energy leadership essential to global security and prosperity. Today, rising electricity and industrial demand, fueled by AI and data center growth, the reshoring of U.S. manufacturing, a renewed focus on energy security and continued emphasis on the need for lower-carbon energy, is creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for American companies to deploy reliable, affordable, lower-emissions technologies at scale. The challenge for industry and government is how to translate that demand into lasting American advantage by innovating faster, building at-scale and competing globally.

Returning to New York Climate Week for its fifth consecutive year, the Carbon Innovation Forum, presented by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and ClearPath, will explore how energy systems have evolved throughout the nation’s history and the key technological advancements and policy developments of the last five years. Convening industry leaders, emerging innovators, financial stakeholders and government officials, the Forum will showcase American-made, low-carbon technologies, identify the partnerships and capital needed to accelerate commercialization and advance the policy and infrastructure priorities required to strengthen U.S. energy security, industrial competitiveness, emissions reductions and global leadership.

At a time when countries around the world are competing to shape the future of energy, the Carbon Innovation Forum will highlight how American innovation, investment and policy can work together to unlock the next generation of energy technologies and reinforce U.S. leadership in the global economy.
