Natural gas is a clean solution for crowded places compared with other fossil fuels such as coal and oil. The experience of the U.S. shale revolution shows the significant CO2 emission reduction since 2008. As China’s urbanization continues, the challenge of how to supply clean reliable energy to fast growing cities, such as Tianjin, becomes more critical. We believe a big part of the answer is liquefied natural gas (LNG), or liquefied natural gas. As a form of natural gas, it has great advantages over the alternatives in power generation, commercial use, or powering vehicles.
Mark T. Wheeler, President of ConocoPhilips China, will come and speak at this month’s breakfast briefing and take this opportunity to show what his company is doing to bring clean energy and fresher air to Tianjin through innovative solutions such as LNG. With reducing carbon emissions being both a global and local concern, this presentation is sure to add a fresh perspective to an ongoing dialogue.
Having a Master of Science in Geology, and being exceptionally well-traveled, Mr. Wheeler is not only an industry expert, but also possesses a broad understanding of the challenges of bringing clean energy to a heavily populated metropolis like Tianjin.
As always, AmCham’s breakfast series is an opportunity for members to become more involved in the Tianjin business community while also enjoying timely and informative presentations in a relaxed environment. This is sure to be an informative and worthwhile event, and we hope to see you there!
