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.”
