I presented your idea about sustainability and innovation at the Summit and of all the slides in my deck, everybody noticed the slide you sent me. They all sat up and started taking pictures.
This is wonderful. If Lux wants to invite me to join your Board, I would be delighted to.
Even this first, short call….I found valuable. I was excited when I first heard about this service. After this first call, I’m even more excited.

Solution & Value
Lux shortlisted developers with differentiated technology and a proven ability to work on low-carbon, waste feedstocks and aligned those with the client’s preferred regions.
Combined with interviews with these developers, Lux evaluated technical capabilities, track records, and business execution to prioritize those developers that best fit the client’s goals.
After careful evaluation with multiple internal stakeholder groups, the client proceeded to negotiate long-term hydrogen supply agreements with a selection of these entities.
