Endeavor Management and University of Houston (UH) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen their commitment to support energy transition. This partnership aims to leverage the strengths of both organizations to accelerate advancements in sustainable energy technologies and strategies.

Endeavor Management will work closely with UH Energy, the university’s interdisciplinary energy initiative, and the members of the ROICE Project Collaborative (RPC) to promote innovation, research, and implementation of sustainable energy solutions through the next phase of the ROICE project.

“Our collaboration for this ROICE phase and with the RPC will blend our offshore operations expertise, our years of experience addressing evolving regulatory requirements with our decades of creating innovative commercial enterprises to meet the demands of energy transition. Together, we will create the blueprint that drives real business impact with the application of clean energy principles,” said John McKeever, Chief Growth Officer, Endeavor Management.

"Since ROICE's inception, Endeavor has worked alongside those of the RPC, to provide critical expertise to help shape the ROICE program. Brian Gibbs, Bruce Crager, and Glenn Legge imparted their decades of experience to our team as we developed our published best practices and techno-economic results,” said Dr. Ram Seetharam, UH Energy Center Officer and ROICE Program Lead. “This MOU formalizes our mutual commitment to advance the industry's implementation of energy transition strategies. Together, we aim to create impactful solutions that will benefit both the energy sector and society as a whole.”

Moving forward, the organizations intend to generate additional industry interest with initiatives that could include Joint Industry Programs, preparations for a joint demonstration project, educational programs and workshops, as well as industry outreach and the publication and distribution of an Impact Report.
