Executives Briefed on Role of Greenhouse Gas Emission Offsets in U.S. Climate Policy
EPRI’s Adam Diamant provided a briefing to the CEO Climate Change Task Force of the American Public Power Association at its Fall 2009 meeting in Washington DC.  The briefing focused on three main topics:

• the near-term challenge of reducing U.S. and electric sector greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
• the key benefits and risks of including GHG emissions offsets in evolving U.S. climate policy
• the role of offsets in H.R. 2454—the “Waxman-Markey” bill

The briefing was attended by more than 25 CEOs and other senior executives representing public water and power utilities across the United States.  Mr. Diamant’s presentation is available to Program 102 and 103 subscribers and can be downloaded here (ID and password required).  For more information, contact Adam Diamant, (510) 260-9105, adiamant@epri.com.
