Join us in early 2027 for our 9th annual Future of Carbon Policy Forum, which will bring together legislators, regulators, clean energy innovators, Tribal representatives, industry leaders and climate advocates for actionable discussions ahead of Washington’s legislative sessions. Through expert panels on key issues, this event focuses the priorities for the year ahead.

David and Patricia Giuliani Clean Energy Entrepreneur Award 2027

Each year at our Future of Carbon Policy Forum, we award the David & Patricia Giuliani Clean Energy Entrepreneur award in honor of our late founder and his wife. The award recognizes businesses making meaningful advances in clean energy innovation. Previous winners include Yakima Chief Hops, Edo, Group14, Myno Carbon, and Kenworth Truck Company.

Each year, we’re honored to support and elevate businesses at the cutting edge of the clean energy transition locally – and globally. If Washington is going to continue to lead the way on effective, ambitious climate action, it’s crucial that we support these partners and ensure their technologies, investments, and the jobs they provide remain in our state.

We welcome nominations for large companies and small businesses, iconic establishments and fledgling start-ups, in any sector whether power, transportation, agriculture, maritime, manufacturing, software…you name it. Criteria includes:

  • Doing business in Washington state
  • Measurable reduction of greenhouse gases and criteria pollutants
  • Positive impact on overburdened communities
  • Innovation that leads sector-wide change
  • Job creation

Feel free to share the nomination form. The deadline for submissions is September 30, 2026.
