Join the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford for an exclusive seminar featuring Rob Hanson, Co-Founder and CEO of Monolith. Moving beyond theoretical studies and pilot projects, Hanson will share critical insights on what it actually takes to commercialize new energy technologies and scale them into operating assets that can withstand the demands of industrial markets.
Drawing from his extensive experience in solar, nuclear, and industrial decarbonization, Hanson will address the 'hard work' of the energy transition. The discussion will cover essential operational hurdles including techno-economic analysis, project financing, permitting, supply chain management, and cost discipline. Attendees will learn how to navigate the gap between ambition and deployment to create sustainable, low-emission energy solutions.
As the leader of Monolith, Hanson is at the forefront of hydrocarbon pyrolysis, producing clean hydrogen and carbon black using 100% clean electricity. This session offers a rare opportunity to learn from a leader who has successfully bridged the gap between mechanical engineering innovation and global industrial application.
