Workshop:
The Consequences of Potential Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations
for the U.S. Energy Market
August 25, 2008
Utilizing its world gas trade model, the Baker Institute plans to investigate how different carbon management schemes will influence natural gas demand, supply and pricing in the United States , as well as overall trends in the North American energy market. Using a scenario-based approach, we will examine the effects of carbon constraints being discussed (i) at the state level, (ii) at the national level to reflect future policy that may umbrella those being considered by individual states, and (iii) at the international level as part of an integrated policy framework. This strategy will be used to examine and compare various outcomes under different sets of assumptions.
