Shell STCH Open House – Houston Climate Week 2025
The industrial revolution was built on carbon. The climate solution could be built from it. Join us at the Shell Technology Center Houston during Houston Climate Week 2025 for an exclusive look at how strategic partnerships may be turning the impossible into the inevitable.
This isn't just an open house—it's a window into a new industrial era. We're showcasing two pioneering startups, Mars Materials and DexMat, who are on the front lines of climate innovation, working with Shell to scale their breakthrough technologies. This is where big industry meets bold vision.
What to Expect:
Welcome to the Front Lines: A brief introduction and safety briefing at Shell's innovation hub.
A New Industrial Model: Hear from Shell leadership on how they are using open innovation to accelerate the scaling of climate tech.
Lab Tours: See the Future in Action: Get an up-close look at the labs where:
Mars Materials is using captured CO₂ to produce the raw materials for carbon fiber, creating a carbon sink in everyday products.
DexMat is producing high-performance carbon nanotube fibers from methane, turning this greenhouse gas into a valuable material.
Strategic Connections: A networking lunch to connect with the founders, investors, and industry leaders who are innovating for the future.
