About the Event
The past 12 months have seen remarkable shifts in emissions policy in America, with the release of new EPA regulations, growth of local regulations on some equipment, and the designation of portions of the Northeast as “particulate matter non attainment” areas, there is a great deal of interest in this complex issue. Regulatory uncertainty, fluctuating fossil fuel prices, and technological developments all add to a current situation that can seem very complicated.
Join us for this important one-day short course in which we bring together some of the nation’s top experts in emissions and bioenergy to:
- Iidentify the critical issues;
- Provide updates on what is known; and
- Develop the dialogue on how to meet energy needs in ways that are healthful, sustainable, and economical.
Who Should Attend?
