Hub projects and partners commit to robust transparency and foster information sharing, technology transfer, and other learnings.
WHAT IT MEANS IN PRACTICE
Hubs aim to share and disclose relevant plans, findings, data, and learnings across all stages of the project from proposal through operation and closure, particularly those projects that are government funded or demonstration focused.
Enhanced transparency demonstrates a commitment to advancement of society-wide net-zero economies; enables genuine and meaningful stakeholder engagement and awareness of Hub operations; and maximizes sharing of lessons-learned across a variety of areas, ranging from technological improvements to community impacts.
High levels of transparency can be achieved even while confidential business information is protected.
