While renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and biofuels experience unprecedented levels of growth and attention, projections confirm that fossil fuels such as oil and gas will continue to make up large parts of our energy mix for quite some time to come. With that in mind, it's important to ask: What significant innovations, if any, are taking place within oil & gas to tackle energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, or otherwise improve the impact of those fuels? What more needs to be done?

Join us as we ask our expert panel:
  • Which factors could have the largest impacts on whether oil and gas remain so prominent or whether they are replaced with other fuel sources?
  • Where in the fuel lifecycle do significant carbon emissions occur from oil and gas?
  • Can innovation make meaningful impacts, in the context of the global carbon picture and concern over climate change?
  • What are the most promising fuel competitors to oil and gas?
Join us for this live webinar » to explore what can and is being done to improve sustainability in oil and gas.
