The Shale Innovation Project webinar series continues Wednesday, Oct. 18, from noon to 1:30 p.m. with “Methane Regulations: Federal, State, and Local Trends.”

The Shale Innovation Project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Russ College of Engineering and Technology, the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, and the College of Arts & Sciences examining the impact of shale development on businesses and communities in Ohio’s shale region. This project is generously supported by a three-year Innovation Strategy Award from the Ohio University Innovation Strategy.

This is the fourth webinar in the series. An expert panel of speakers will discuss the evolution and impact of methane regulations, the future of industry activity in response to regulation and other voluntary emissions reduction programs, and how policymakers can balance growth and environmental best practices.
