Permian Basin -Is it going to be the future of New Energies? New Laboratory coming to town to figure that out!

Happy Thursday! 

Did anyone read The Houston Chronicle on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 called,” Mitchell Foundation looks to the future – Initiative aims to deliver a new clean energy era to Permian Basin.”   The article is about how the Mitchells’ Foundation is launching a new enterprise called Permian Energy Development Laboratory (PEDL) it will bring together seven universities from Texas (3 University of Texas branches, Midland College and Odessa College) and from New Mexico (New Mexico State and New Mexico Tech), two national laboratories (U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Sandia National Laboratories), and Houston Advanced Research Center.  They are going to look into the “what’s next?” for the Permian Basin in regard to cleaner energies and its future workforce.  They have already decided to look into hydrogen and if it can be clean energy and if you can use the existing energies to make it cleaner, and large-scale projects like solar.  Well, this is good news to the Permian Basin and its future as a leader in energies because it was just added to the Brent benchmark last week and it appears it will have a future beyond oil and gas.  If you would like to read the article, check out The Houston Chronicle or the announcement from the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation.
