Pilot Readiness – Designing and Running a Pilot

What actually goes into designing and running a pilot with a corporate partner?

Join founders from Sandbox Carbon and Hago Energetics for a candid conversation on what happens once a pilot moves forward—from defining scope and aligning with internal stakeholders to managing execution in real-world environments.

Sandbox Carbon will share lessons from piloting with the CTA Red Line, where they are deploying modular carbon capture systems designed to reduce CO2, odor, and regulated pollutants directly from existing exhaust streams. Hago Energetics will discuss upcoming pilot deployments in the Middle East focused on converting waste materials into clean hydrogen with a negative carbon footprint.

Expect practical insights on what made pilots successful, what caused friction, and what they would do differently.
