Energy publisher Hart Energy Publishing, US, has announced the launch of The Carbon Challenge webinar series designed to aid the global energy industry and policy-makers in understanding the impact of carbon-related issues on their businesses and constituents. Leading international experts will inform participants of the latest strategies, investment challenges and technologies needed to remain competitive in an increasingly carbon-constrained global economy.
The series,'The Carbon Challenge: Adapting to New Policies' will begin July 28, 2009 and will cover topics such as the scientific background to the carbon challenge; a US summary of the path to climate regulation, the Waxman-Markey Bill, the time frame and possible roadblocks, and the major players; and how European, Canadian, and Asian governments are moving forward and their likely position at The UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December.
The event will feature an introduction by James A. Slutz, President and Managing Director, Global Energy Strategies LLC and former US Assistant Secretary of Energy and chair of the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum; and an overview of the carbon challenge by Dr. Donald L. Paul, Executive Director, University of Southern California Energy Institute and former Chevron Corp. chief technology officer. Slutz and Paul will be joined by an international panel of experts including Jim Connaughton, Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs and Environmental Policy, Constellation Energy Group; Dr. Stefan Singer, Director of Global Energy Policy, WWF International (formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund); Belinda Robinson, Chief Executive of the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association; Guo Yuan, Professor and Senior Researcher, Energy Research Institute, National Development and Reform Commission; and David Manning, Executive Vice President, US External Affairs, National Grid.
As part of Hart's Global Carbon Initiative, the webinar series will culminate with a Summary Executive Meeting on November 3, 2009, at the Energy Solutions Conference in Houston, Texas.
