This course provides a non-technical introduction to two forms of unconventional energy to explore common obstacles potentially encountered in an attempt to utilize new forms of energy. A high-level overview of the multinational supply chain for several minerals critical to the electrification (energy transition) effort in the US will be supplied including discussion of resources, resource locations and extraction activities. Description of supply chains and supply chain risks for copper and lithium will be discussed as examples. Elements of the energy trilemma will be identified and example tradeoffs in seeking to develop a balanced solution to the trilemma be discussed.

Attendees will receive 2 Professional Development Hours (PDH) upon approval. Please submit your request to learn@southerngas.org

Learning Objectives

• Review the characteristics of two example unconventional forms of energy and recognize the types of challenges frequently encountered when adopting new energy sources.
• Gain a high-level view of the multi-national supply chain frequently found in critical minerals.
• Acquire an appreciation of the resource limitations and supply chain risks associated with critical materials required for electrification/energy transition.
• Recognize the necessity for addressing each element of the energy trilemma and consider examples of possible conclusions/responses.

Target Audience

Any relatively new employee of a gas industry entity and experienced gas industry professionals (administrative, financial, operations, legal, marketing, and other disciplines) seeking to broaden their understanding of the natural gas industry.

The new European Union Methane Regulation (EUMR) requires energy exporters to disclose their product’s upstream associated methane impacts beginning in 2025 with additional phased requirements, including methane intensity reporting and, ultimately, compliance with a to-be-determined methane intensity limit by 2030. The EUMR regulates emissions outside the EU border by requiring exporters to institute robust Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) programs to meet import contractual methane intensity disclosure and limit requirements…regardless of the U.S. regulations in place. As the requirements apply to the entire production value chain, they will impact U.S. natural gas producers whose product makes its way to LNG export facilities, as well as the midstream and transmission operators who treat and transport the gas. This course will address the regulation, its impacts to operators in various oil and gas industry seg-ments, and best practices in the field and in data management that can be implemented to prepare for this global regulatory environment.

Attendees will receive 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH) upon completion. Please submit your request for your PDH to learn@southerngas.org

Questions attendees will be able to answer

• What is the European Methane Rule (EUMR), and how will it impact US opera-tors?
• How does the EUMR compare to current applicable regulations? What additional requirements come into play?
• How can companies start preparing for compliance with EUMR requirements?
• How long do companies have to establish EUMR-compliant measurement, report-ing, and verification (MRV) programs?

Target Audience

• Environmental Professionals and Manager
• Corporate Decisionmakers
• Sustainability Team
