Panel: US Natural Gas Use and Emissions
Domestic natural gas supply has rapidly increased while price has decreased in recent years. This session will look at trends in supply and demand as well as what life-cycle emissions analyses have told us about the potential climate implications of increased natural gas use.

Panel: Transportation Sector
The transportation sector is currently dominated by gasoline as an energy source, however, natural gas has gained a following as a fuel option for fleet and heavy duty vehicles, as both a direct and indirect energy source. This session will discuss the future for heavy duty as well as passenger vehicles, and how potential uses and emissions reductions in this sector compare with others.
- Jay Albert, Deputy Secretary of Energy, Oklahoma

Panel: Industrial Sector
Energy intensive industries use natural gas for power, process heating, and as a feedstock and as such are very sensitive to changes in natural gas pricing. The session will focus on the role of energy efficiency and combined heat and power in the industrial sector. It will also examine how the use of natural gas by industry for combustion and feedstock compares to other sectors, in terms of emissions.
- Joel Bluestein, Senior Vice President, ICF International
