Environmental Sustainability Issues Among Key Topics at CERAWeek 2012

Business Wire
Persistent economic concerns, unease over energy security and
the question of how to meet energy objectives while addressing
environmental concerns have made sustainability one of the key
topics for this year’s 31st Annual CERAWeek conference, being held
March 5-9 in Houston.
Recognized as the world’s premier energy conference, CERAWeek
2012 is chaired by IHS CERA Chairman and Pulitzer Prize-winning
author Daniel Yergin. CERAWeek will convene an international group
of industry, policy and financial leaders, along with leading IHS
researchers and analysts, to examine the opportunities and
challenges that will shape the energy future.
Topics and discussion points related to sustainability will be a
key component throughout the conference program, including:
- The future of renewable technologies in
an era of economic austerity
- Powering the cities of the future
- Regulatory policy in a world of
change
- Sustainability and the greenhouse gas
footprint of fossil fuels
- Climate policy after Durban and the
future for carbon regulation
- The science of hydraulic
fracturing
- New frontiers in energy efficiency
“Striking the balance between meeting the world’s energy needs
and addressing environmental concerns is one of the key challenges
facing a world where energy demand is expected to grow by as much
as 40 percent by 2030,” Yergin said. “How to find the right mix of
innovation, technological advance and efficiency needed to solve
this unique energy puzzle will be one of the key areas of
discussion at CERAWeek 2012.”
