The principal elements of this initiative include:
1) A confidential full-day workshop to facilitate dialogue, share expertise, and gather input from key stakeholders;
2) A report, informed by stakeholder input, outlining the challenges of and strategies for leveraging the natural gas boom to reduce GHG emissions in the transportation, manufacturing and electricity sectors; and
3) An event in Washington, D.C. to highlight the report’s findings and to present a range of stakeholder and policymaker perspectives.
The opening stakeholder workshop is now scheduled for 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 17, 2012 in Houston, Texas. Please contact tanya.andrien@mccombs.utexas.edu if you are interested in participating.
