EIA’s 2013 Energy Conference next week will look at U.S. and global energy challenges
The U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2013 Energy Conference, which will be held June 17-18 in Washington, DC, will bring together leaders from government, industry, and academia to discuss energy challenges facing domestic and international energy markets.
The conference will highlight major energy sector issues and trends:
- Growth in world hydrocarbon resources, including oil and natural gas from shale formations.
- Evolution and globalization of the natural gas market.
- Increased U.S. oil and natural gas production and its consequences for the U.S. economy and global energy markets.
- North and South America as global energy providers.
- Alternatives to oil in the transport sector, which have promise but still face hurdles.
- Storage and grid integration to accommodate increased intermittent renewable electricity generation.
