#220 - Climate Change Market and Regulatory Issues, Present and Future (09012)
This session will provide a review and update on the state, national and international legal and regulatory developments regarding greenhouse gas emission voluntary reduction and mandatory control programs. Specifically, this session will review the current and potential future regulatory and political US landscape regarding greenhouse gas emission controls, including fugitive methane and other VOC emissions, Nox emissions and CO2, in light of the Supreme Court’s review of EPA’s decision to not regulate carbon dioxide pursuant to the Clean Air Act, and the changing of the political guard in the American Congress. This session will also summarize the current international greenhouse gas emission mandates impacting US companies doing business overseas.
