EPRI Staff Speak at Energy and Environment Conference
EPRI’s global climate research was presented at the EUEC 2010 Energy and Environment Conference, held Feb. 1–3 in Phoenix, AZ.  Tom Wilson provided an overview of public cost estimates of HR 2454 (Waxman–Markey) and key assumptions that led to large variation in these estimates.  Adam Diamant’s presentation, “The Key Role of GHG Emissions Offsets in a U.S. CO₂ Cap–and–Trade Program,” highlighted the risks and benefits of emissions offsets in planning for a low-carbon energy future.  Delavane Diaz discussed the impacts of alternative offset supply assumptions on an electric company's strategy for compliance with a climate policy in her talk, “Why Carbon Offset Policy Matters for Electric Companies.”   These presentations are posted on the Global Climate Webpage.  For more information, contact Tom Wilson, (650) 855-7928, twilson@epri.com; Adam Diamant, (510) 260-9105, adiamant@epri.com; or Delavane Diaz, (650) 855-2332, ddiaz@epri.com.
