The agency has scheduled the popular international gathering for October 18-20 at the Marriott Park City Hotel in Park City, with discussions planned on policy/legal issues, CMM project costs and incentives, global opportunities for ventilation air methane mitigation and CMM project opportunities worldwide.
While the schedule is still being finalized, some of the planned technical presentations include:
- How The “Tailoring Rule” Affects Coal Mine Methane Emission Offset Opportunities at US Coal Mines – Collon Kennedy, Ruby Canyon Engineering;
- Generating Power from Coal Mine Methane in the Western US - Jeff Leibert, Verdeo Group;

A keynote address is planned and organizers have invited energy analyst and former Community Office for Resource Efficiency director Randy Udall to open the event.
Guests can also take part in a special offsite visit to Solvay Chemicals’ trona mine in Green River, Wyoming on the final day of the conference.
