The University of Houston (UH) welcomed a delegation from the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), the technical arm of India’s Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, on September 24, 2026, for discussions on expanding collaboration.
The UH Energy Transition Institute (ETI), in collaboration with the Energy Coalition, hosted the finale of another successful Coogs for Energy Hackathon on October 23-24, where students worked together to create impactful and innovative solutions to real-world energy challenges. Team Catalyst Six won first place for their solution to the problem “Creating Value from Produced Water: Recovering Critical Minerals."
The Energy Leadership Speaker Series, hosted by the Division of Energy and Innovation at the University of Houston, kicked off on October 19. The series will feature 12 expert-led sessions in which UH students, faculty and staff will hear directly from top executives, innovators, and subject matter experts from across the energy industry about timely topics.
As AI drives unprecedented demand for electricity, University of Houston researchers are developing a compact technology designed to make carbon capture more practical for power plants supporting the growing AI industry. UH Engineering Professor Mim Rahimi and former UH Ph.D. student Ahmad Hassan, who is currently at Harvard University as a postdoctoral associate, detailed the technology, called Small Modular Electrochemical Containers (SMECs), in a study published in Environmental Science & Technology.
