A Conference Is Coming! Carbon Tracking and Reporting

“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”  -- Native American Proverb (https://curious.earth/ )

Reasonable people acknowledge that the world is experiencing the effects of climate change. And reasonable people recognize that there is money to be made in addressing this challenge. These reasonable people include corporations, like Aramco, Baker Hughes, BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Halliburton, Kinder Morgan, Lyondell Basell, Marathon Oil, Mitsubishi, and Shell.

Each of these corporations is an attending organization in the Carbon Tracking & Reporting Conference March 29-30, 2023, Houston, TX (https://carbontrackingandreporting.energyconferencenetwork.com/ )

Anyone playing the long game in the energy transition arena will want to consider attending this conference.
