Environmental Defense Fund president to keynote CSU Natural Gas Symposium

FORT COLLINS — Fred Krupp, president of the Environmental Defense Fund, will deliver the keynote speech at Colorado State University’s fifth annual Natural Gas Symposium set for Oct. 27-28 in the Lory Student Center on the university’s main campus in Fort Collins.

The free symposium, hosted the CSU Energy Institute, will present views in the latest research and innovations from close to 40 speakers from CSU and around the nation. This year’s theme is sustainable industry-community collaborations.

Session topics will offer in-depth analysis of a range of issues: clean air and water; resolving conflicts between state and federal policies; economic cycles of the extraction industry; workplace safety and public safety; solving the state versus local control puzzle; and developing a vision for sustainability and positive community relationships.

WomenGive, a program of United Way of Larimer County, was started in Larimer County in 2006 as an opportunity for women in our community to come together to help other women.

“Responsible natural-gas development is really about thoughtful public policy, the industry’s social license to operate, continuous technological advancements and forward thinking. It is critical to bring diverse perspectives and areas of expertise to the conversation and that is how we have designed this symposium,” said Bill Ritter, former Colorado governor and now director of the Center for the New Energy Economy, which is part of the Energy Institute at CSU.

Last year, the symposium  took place in Denver, with more than 700 industry leaders and stakeholders in attendance and more than 3,000 viewers on live-streamed sessions.

Registration is required, which can be done online here. The event will be live streamed here.
