This webinar will provide an overview and update of current greenhouse (GHG) regulations and policies as they apply to the production and use of both conventional and unconventional oil & gas. The following topics will be addressed:
• Current status of the international negotiations to complete, by 2015, a successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol that would take effect in 2020.
• Lessons learned to date from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) implementation of Clean Air Act Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Title V permitting for oil & gas operations and facilities.
• What EPA’s August 2013 re-proposed GHG New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for New Electric Generating Units mean for combined-cycle natural gas (CCNG) power plants. Will CCNG be required to deploy CO2 capture technology, too?
