Eager to defend its 2023 title as the winner of the fastest lap, Whippany-based Suburban Renewables, a subsidiary of Suburban Propane Partners L.P., said it will sponsor the Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix, the “H2GP,” taking place in Anaheim, California, from Sept. 9-12. This event will be held during North America’s largest renewable industry tradeshow, RE+.
This sponsorship underscores Suburban Propane’s commitment to investing in the future of the hydrogen industry by supporting the next generation of innovators and leaders.
This sponsorship benefits students ages 13-17 from around the world who have spent the past several months working in teams to design, engineer and build their own 1:10 scale hydrogen fuel cell model car, which they will race to showcase their commitment to global renewable energy. This program, managed by the newly launched H2GP Foundation, offers students a thorough understanding of the engineering principles that will shape the future of renewable energy.
In addition, Suburban Renewables will participate in the H2 Grand Prix “Corporate Race,” where it will compete against other businesses and firms to determine whose customized hydrogen-powered car will win, bringing home the H2GP Corporate Championship Trophy.
This sponsorship and participation highlight the company’s ongoing commitment to excellence and leadership in the evolving hydrogen sector.
The H2 Grand Prix is a competition showcasing the remarkable achievements of students across the globe in the hydrogen fuel cell industry. By sponsoring this event, Suburban Renewables reinforces its dedication to fostering innovation and advancement within the clean energy sector.
As part of its sponsorship, Suburban Renewables also will host a booth at the H2 Grand Prix, offering visitors an in-depth look at the company’s initiatives and innovations in the field of renewable energy technology. Attendees will have the chance to engage with the Suburban Renewables team and learn about its strategic investments in hydrogen as a clean energy source.
The H2GP Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting educational programs and research initiatives related to hydrogen technology. It aims to drive innovation, provide scholarships and facilitate partnerships that advance the hydrogen economy. Suburban Renewables’ involvement with the H2GP Foundation reflects its strategic vision of nurturing future talent and advancing hydrogen technologies through collaborative efforts.
“We are thrilled to be a part of the H2 Grand Prix and to support the talented students who are shaping the future of hydrogen energy,” Nandini Sankara, spokesperson for Suburban Propane and Suburban Renewables, said. “Our sponsorship is a testament to our belief in the transformative power of hydrogen and our commitment to investing in the innovators who will drive the industry forward.”
“We’re happy to have the continued support of Suburban Renewables for this year’s H2GP World Final,” Nicola Weiss, president of the H2GP Foundation, said. “This support engages communities through hands-on educational programs in hydrogen, helping to build a future workforce that will secure our energy future.”
