Accelerating the Energy Transition with Hassane Kassouf of AWS Energy, ep 36
Welcome to the Energy Transition Solutions podcast — brought to you on the Oil and Gas Global Network by AWS Energy. This week our host Joe Batir talks with Hassane Kassouf, Head of Energy Innovation Programs at Amazon Web Services (AWS), about the Clean Energy Accelerator 2.0. As we see the world wanting to move more towards clean energy, the challenges in clean energy implementation become apparent. These challenges are best solved through collaboration, but often times start-ups only have a limited network of mentors and resources to overcome their respective challenges.
