Natural Gas: Friend or Foe to Energy Sustainability?
Live Webinar November 30 1 PM ET / 10 AM PTNew sourcing techniques for natural gas have a great potential to impact the makeup of global energy consumption for some time to come. The role that larger natural gas supplies will play in a push by many countries toward more renewable fuel sources may have a significant outcome for efforts to reduce C02 emissions worldwide and combat climate change, and yet natural gas remains little-understood and, in some instances, controversial.
Some see natural gas as a big improvement over more carbon-producing energy sources like coal, while others are concerned about the environmental impact of sourcing methods like "fracking". Will natural gas serve as an aid in the transition to more responsible energy consumption, or will its newfound availability depress energy prices and slow the move to renewable sources like wind and solar energy?
The Energy Collective brings together experts on gas and energy production to provide their perspectives on the opportunities - or challenges - that natural gas may present for a sustainable energy economy:
- What will be the impact of natural gas supply on financing renewable energy sources?
- Which new production and transportation strategies for natural gas could make an impact?
- Are there new opportunities for Carbon Capture and Sequestration with natural gas?
- Should natural serve as an interim fuel source in a move toward renewables?
