Babst Calland joins EUCI for “Renewable Gas: Project Development, Regulation and Emerging Markets,” November 9-10, 2021. Renewable gas is increasingly gaining traction as a valuable resource in the decarbonization era. This symposium will serve as a forum for the energy sector to explore the applications and opportunities of this resource – specifically evaluating two categories of renewable gas:

Renewable Natural Gas (RNG): pipeline-quality natural gas (biomethane) derived from processing, cleaning and treating raw biogas; primarily from landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and animal manure. It is interchangeable with natural gas and carbon neutral.
Renewable Hydrogen or Green Hydrogen: hydrogen produced without emitting greenhouse gases as a by-product. It can be generated from renewable electricity by electrolysis, from biogas by steam reforming, and biomass through thermal conversion.

Attendees will gain in-depth knowledge about these renewable gas resources, with sessions providing comprehensive coverage of their involved technologies & production processes, market outlook & project economics, and related policy & regulatory initiatives.
Expert discussions will also address the potential roles of renewable gas to: utilize existing infrastructure (thus mitigating stranded assets), serve as an energy storage resource (power to gas), and support decarbonization efforts and high penetrations of renewable energy on the grid.
Attorney Gary Steinbauer will be the moderator for “The Regulatory & Policy Landscape: Decarbonization, Natural Gas & Renewable Gas Initiatives” on Tuesday, November 9. Topics include:

RNG in the Biden Administration

The Renewable Fuel Standard in 2021: How We Got Here
EPA on the RFS and Post 2022 Set Rule

Green Hydrogen 101
2021-12-07 07:50 - 2021-12-08 11:00 | Virtual
Babst Calland joins EUCI for “Green Hydrogen 101,” December 7-8, 2021. Green hydrogen as a clean energy resource has attracted the attention of governments and businesses worldwide, and has become a central part of many nations’ decarbonization plans. 2021 has already been a defining year for green hydrogen development with a marked increase in deals in the past few months. The strategic implementation of green hydrogen could revolutionize value chains in the energy industry. Green hydrogen could fuel vehicles, be used for heating, and be used in industries that have no economically viable alternative to fossil fuels. But without a strategic route to green hydrogen at scale, these efforts toward hydrogen implementation won’t contribute to net zero targets.
This seminar brings together leading utilities, developers and industry experts to explore the regulatory and economic implications of green hydrogen, plus the fundamentals of production, storage and distribution.
Attorney Ben Clapp will present “Hydrogen Policy: Regulations and Incentives” on Tuesday, December 7. The initial large-scale deployment of green hydrogen will likely be led by government mandates and the availability of incentive programs. This session will explore the state, federal and international policies, programs, and initiatives accelerating the adoption of green hydrogen by utility companies.
