Event Details
C2ES and the University of Texas are conducting a multipronged research project that will begin with a pair of stakeholder workshops and culminate in the release of a major paper and a public event. The goal is to provide credible information to policymakers and stakeholders on ways that the natural gas boom can be leveraged to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the U.S. and globally. The first workshop brought together key stakeholders to discuss the potential foremission reductions in the transportation, power, and industrial sectors, as well as to consider the latest research on natural gas emissions and its impacts on the economic viability of zero-carbon fuel sources. This second workshop will focus on direct use of natural gas and infrastructure.
