Fears about global warming, frustration over high oil prices and growing backing from governments has made air pollution and the control of emissions one of the top social and political issues of our time. Additionally, with President Obama vowing to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 to 1990 levels and implement a U.S. federal cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 80% by 2050 and to invest $150-billion over the next 10 years to catalyze private efforts to build a clean energy future; Now is the time for the power industry to become pioneers in an emerging market.However, the large-scale air quality initiatives envisioned to stabilize, and ultimately reverse, global atmospheric emission concentrations present major technical, economic, regulatory and policy challenges.The marcus evans Air Emissions Control conference will provide an opportunity to discuss the interaction between climate change and existing air quality initiatives. Focusing on the man-agement and voluntary initiatives currently being undertaken in achieving not only corporate environmental compliance but also in enhancing emissions control and air quality. Attention will also be paid to the direction of current and proposed emission regulations and technology impacting the energy industry and the evolving face of energy production plants in meeting environmental compliance.Booking Info: www.marcusevansbb.com/AirEmissions2009DAY TWO | Wednesday, May 20, 2009Stream B – Oil & Gas8:15 Registration and Morning Coffee8:30 Chairman's Opening Address8:45 Case StudyStrategize for Economic and Environmental Benefits from Methane Reductions• Developing a tiered emissions management approach• Evaluating the cost vs. benefits of technologyJim Cormack, Senior Advisor Climate Change and Air Quality Policy, Transcanada9:30 Case StudyNatural Gas STAR: Reducing Methane Emissions In Oil And Natural Gas Operations • Utilizing cost effective methane emission reduction strategies • Determining the operational benefits, costs, savings and economics of a methane reduction project • Highlighting some methane emission reduction best practices • Integrating Gas STAR into your GHG inventory: Discussion on calculations, verification, and offsetsAaron Hutchison, Natural Gas STAR Implementation Manager, Marathon Oil10.15 Morning Coffee and Networking10.45 KeynoteAir Emissions Leak Detection and Quantification• Highlighting the importance of developing a fugitive emissions management plan• Identifying existing and emerging leak detection and quantification technologies• Evaluating the most effective, based on costs and ability to identify, locate and quantify substances• Maximizing emission reduction and detection through routine inspection and continuous process monitoring activities of high leak/vent componentsThomas D.
