Appalachian gas prices are the highest since the start of the Shale Revolution and production from the region has grown at a rate that has completely reshaped the U.S. natural gas landscape. But the midstream buildout that enabled that revolution is over now and any remaining takeaway pipeline projects are facing regulatory gauntlets. Nevertheless, gas demand is growing in the Northeast and overall as LNG feedgas demands ramp up – and that’s going to have a big impact on gas prices and the effects will ripple not only in the Northeast, but in energy markets around the world.

Organizations are at a critical turning point in history when it comes to climate change. No longer can we ignore the impacts of carbon emissions on our environment or the increased need for energy resiliency. Today's turning point places a critical emphasis on meaningful ESG and net zero carbon goals, and RNG is a critical tool in achieving them. What are the key benefits that RNG offers on the path to net zero compared to other available alternative fuels? What role should RNG play in helping organizations reach net zero carbon goals and ESG initiatives? How can organizational leaders incorporate RNG into their strategic plans? In this session, we'll hear directly from individuals who are facing these challenges head on by helping shape their customer's journey with RNG. Join this session to learn from a seasoned Executive in the cleantech space who is helping customers such as [client name], [client description], to lay the groundwork for a more sustainable future, one renewable and resilient step at a time.

When it comes to current market conditions, policy, and regulatory initiatives,
Gas Buyers often have a different perspective than other stakeholders across
the value chain. Whether regulated utilities, or non-regulated industrials, gas
buyers are located at the end of the value chain where they are faced with
essentially react to market developments that are largely out of their control.
Creative negotiation of commercial purchasing terms to ensure predictability,
security of supply, flexibility, and market pricing are vital to these constituents.
This Panel will offer their unique perspectives on variety of topical issues
facing the market.

1. Current market conditions
- Perspectives on prices, volatility, supply/demand, etc.
- Impact on go-forward purchasing strategies
- growing LNG exports

2. Energy transition
- meeting low carbon mandates by deadlines
- ESG
- electrification, etc.

3. Lower carbon energy product alternatives
- end use customer interest around products (RSG, RNG, H2, offsets, CCS, etc.)
- expectations for economics to introduce such alternatives
- expectations for suppliers to introduce new products innovations
- expectations for third party certification of product carbon content

4. End use customer perspectives
- demand for continued use of natural gas
- ability to convert to lower carbon energy alternatives, etc.

5. Commercial terms
- how has energy transition & current market conditions affected structuring of commercial terms for gas supply agreements
- length of term, indexing, weather, hedging, etc.

6. Midstream
- constraints, ability to meet future supply requirements
- storage
- virtual pipeline, small-scale LNG, etc.

7. Regulatory (utility)
- LDC cost recovery mechanisms
- rejection of gas supply planning elements (e.g. new midstream capacity)
