The MIT Enterprise Forum of Cambridge Presents

Cracking the Carbon Equation

Wednesday, December 9, 2009

We cannot achieve a sustainable future without tackling the challenges of greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 is the major culprit in this troublesome trend, and the growing momentum around CO2 regulation means that we will all need to understand the opportunities and challenges in reducing carbon emissions. Join a group of leading players in the carbon value chain to learn about the emerging regulatory frameworks, the technologies designed to capture, sequester and re-use CO2, and the opportunities to develop financing and trading strategies based on carbon assets.

Keynote

Tony Meggs is a senior member of MIT Energy Initiative and Co-Chair of a major study on the Future of Natural Gas, with a particular focus on the role of natural gas in a carbon-constrained world. He recently retired as group vice president for technology at BP, where he oversaw substantial increases in technology activity and an increasing focus on the longer term. The most recent manifestation of this was the commitment of $500 million to the creation of an energy biology institute. Tony has an educational background in reservoir engineering, commercial analysis and general management, including an MA degree in natural sciences from Cambridge University and an MSc degree in petroleum engineering from Imperial College. He is a graduate fellow of the Sloan Program of the Stanford Business School.
