(576a) Opportunities for Responsibly Realizing the Potential of Shale Gas Resources

We have witnessed an unprecedented revolution in the domestic supply of shale hydrocarbon reserves with the potential to lower the cost of our nation’s electricity, power, chemicals, and fuels for the next 100 years. We will discuss how the Engineering Research Center for Innovative and Strategic Transformation of Alkane Resources (CISTAR) will be bridging the transition to a sustainable energy future with fuels and chemicals from shale gas while providing further GHG reductions and promoting environmentally responsible development of this opportune national resource.
