MAKE THE FUTURE OF ENERGY
The Climate Tech Time Capsule is a stainless-steel 12X 24 in a cylinder that will be sealed in Houston, Texas on September 22, 2023.
Artifacts and items of interest from climate-focused startups and technology leaders will be selected for inclusion.
The capsule will be on display in a prominent nationally significant location yet to be announced along with a plaque and QR code linking to details about the artifacts stored.
The capsule will be dedicated in early November 2023 and will remain on display until it is scheduled to be opened on Wednesday, December 12, 2035. This date marks the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the Paris Agreement at the conclusion of COP 21 in 2015.
