Purpose:

The WASHINGTON CLEAN ENERGY ROUNDTABLE is an invitation-only energy summit convening a highly interactive, private debate on technology issues facing today's oil & gas, power, and transportation industries. We discuss a broad range of technology, policy, innovation, and investment topics relating to worldwide needs for clean, safe, affordable, lower-carbon energy. Topics will include world outlooks for natural gas, LNG, GTL, coal gasification, tar sands, nuclear power, and the successful integration of renewables into generating and investment portfolios. We will also discuss new approaches to maximizing efficiency and managing growth in energy demand.

Senior international energy and government leaders will convene with the objective of a broad, cross-sectoral exchange of views on policy, investment, and technology in a balanced, practical, five to ten-year investment horizon.

We look forward to building on our successful events over the past two years.
