Reducing Oil and Gas Sector Emissions

“Reducing Oil and Gas Sector Emissions” project convened leading engineers, technical experts, and decision makers from Iraq to examine the political, economic, and public health challenges and opportunities posed by emissions reductions strategies.

Through visits to Washington, D.C.; Minot, North Dakota; Denver, Colorado; and New Orleans, Louisiana, visitors interfaced with leading experts in the fields of oil and gas, climate change mitigation, and methane abatement, and observed the latest technologies both in development and in use at a variety of facilities. They discussed the local, state, and federal regulations that govern the oil & gas industries, and met with companies themselves to discuss the private sector's own additional commitments and efforts to reduce emissions.
