Suburban Renewable Energy, LLC, a subsidiary of Suburban Propane Partners, L.P., has announced its sponsorship of the first school entry in the Hydrogen Grand Prix (H2GP) as the programme launches in Texas, US, for the 2024 - 25 school year. With support from Suburban Renewables, students aged 12 to 19 will use teamwork and STEAM curriculum to design, engineer, and build their own 1:10 scale hydrogen fuel cell remote-controlled car. The team will then race in a series of local- and state-level endurance races for the chance to compete at the H2GP World Finals event overseas.

This sponsorship underscores Suburban Renewables' and Suburban Propane's commitment to investing in the future of hydrogen and other low-carbon fuels by supporting the next generation of renewable energy engineers and innovators.

Suburban Propane is the first corporate sponsor of Texas-based teams in the H2GP programme as it kicks off its inaugural season in the state. This programme, managed by the non-profit H2GP Foundation, offers students a thorough understanding of the engineering principles that will shape the future of renewable energy. By sponsoring a team in this growing program, Suburban Renewables reinforces its dedication to fostering innovation and advancement within the clean energy sector.

"We proudly support the H2GP and the talented students who are shaping the future of hydrogen and renewable energy," said Nandini Sankara, Spokesperson for Suburban Propane and Suburban Renewables. "We are enthusiastic about providing these bright, young minds with the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and creativity in a dynamic and competitive environment. Our sponsorship reflects our strong belief in the transformative potential of hydrogen as a clean energy source. We are committed to investing in the innovators and leaders of tomorrow who will drive this industry forward, creating sustainable solutions for a brighter future."

The H2GP Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to supporting educational programmes and research initiatives related to hydrogen technology, 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. Suburban Renewables encourages other corporations who share these goals to join them in sponsoring teams to bring these opportunities to learn through teamwork and competition across Texas.
