Harnessing the Potential of Natural Gas: Addressing Methane Emissions

Monday, December 8, 2014 9:30 am - 12:30 pm

The CSIS Energy and National Security Program and the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) are pleased to co-sponsor an event addressing fugitive methane emissions across the natural gas value chain. The U.S. unconventional oil and gas revolution that reversed decades-old trends of fossil fuel production declines in the U.S. has had ripple effects globally. Expansion of natural gas resources and production has inspired a rigorous environmental debate about the regulation of these new resources. As the primary component of natural gas and a potent green house gas, the regulation of fugitive methane emissions has moved to the forefront of national regulatory debates. In order to address these issues, the event will feature two panels: one addressing the science around the significance of methane as a potent greenhouse gas and the second looking at what is being done by government and industry (upstream and downstream) to reduce emissions and leakage.
