MENLO
PARK, CA. April 17, 2007— SRI Consulting and
Chemical Week today announced details on a new one-day
conference —Greenhouse Gas Regulations Come
to Chemicals — that will take place on June
19, 2007 at the Rocco Forte Hotel Amigo in Brussels,
Belgium.
In 2008,
the European Union will extend its emissions trading
scheme to the chemicals industry. Chemical producers will
face numerous challenges — and many opportunities — which
this conference is designed to discuss. In the United States
the political momentum for the regulation of greenhouse
gas emissions is growing fast and is expected to follow
with similar emissions regulations.
The conference
will offer decision makers a primer of what to expect
as the regulations begin to take effect and will appeal to
corporate executives: CEO’s, Vice Presidents, Directors
and Senior Managers of chemical companies responsible for
Energy, Energy Policy, Environmental Sciences, Environment
Policy, Regulatory Compliance, Power, Finance, Strategic
Planning and Research & Development.
The agenda
will cover:
- European
greenhouse gas regulations for chemicals and the European
Emissions Trading system (ETS)
- Cap
and trade coming to the U.S. chemical industry
- The
G8 plan and consequences for the chemical industry
- Energy
