Preparing For A Carbon Constrained Future

Overview:

For the United States, fossil fuels will remain the bastion of energy production far into the twenty-first century. In order to ensure a prospering economy, accessibility to these fossil fuels are crucial. Nevertheless, increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) due to carbon emissions are probable unless energy end users decrease the carbon emissions into the atmosphere.

In order to alleviate and finally reduce current carbon dioxide concentrations of this greenhouse gas, it will be essential to utilize carbon sequestration - carbon capture, separation and storage or reuse. This conference will spotlight......

  • Technologies that address carbon dioxide

  • When will a full scale power plant demonstration be online?

  • How long before the technology is ready for commercial use?

  • Major market drivers that affect the price of carbon internationally

  • Successful Carbon Disclosures

  • RGGI Update

  • European Market Model

  • NETL carbon capture/sequestration partnerships

  • Utilities from various regions share their climate policy strategies

Industry experts from the coal consumer, regulatory sector, carbon capture/sequestration technology groups and consulting firms will discuss how they are beginning to prepare for a carbon constrained future. Various utilities from around the different regions will discuss state level actions, performance standards, what they intend to build and their carbon disclosure efforts.
