Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission Announces Dec. 19 Virtual Listening Session
ECMC wants to hear from disproportionately impacted communities on cumulative impacts.
The Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) will host a virtual listening session on Dec. 19, focused on the issue of cumulative impacts.
This session aims to engage disproportionately impacted communities before the ECMC’s formal rulemaking process begins.
Since 2019, ECMC has been engaging in conversations on how to address and evaluate the multiple impacts that residents can experience when there are oil and gas operations in their communities.
In 2022, the ECMC Commission decided it was time to undertake a rulemaking to update the initial cumulative impacts work started in 2019. And in 2023, the Colorado legislature gave ECMC further direction on what it should consider when it holds its rulemaking hearing on cumulative impacts.
ECMC Cumulative Impacts Virtual Meeting with Disproportionately Impacted Communities:

ECMC wants to hear from disproportionately impacted communities:
● What are your lived experiences and concerns related to cumulative impacts in your community?
● What are the barriers underserved communities experience regarding ECMC’s mission and rulemaking process?
● How should the ECMC engage with stakeholders throughout the rulemaking process and beyond?
● What specific criteria should be considered during the rulemaking process?

The Carbon Conference 2024 will bring sustainable stakeholders and energy enthusiasts together that wish to capture CO2 emissions safely and transport the CO2 via pipelines, allowing the captured CO2 to be permanently stored in deep underground formations. The Carbon Conference 2024 is dedicated to advancing the necessary conversation regarding carbon emissions, capture, transportation, and storage.
The Conference Center at the Tuscany Suites & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the perfect venue to encourage productive discussions and diverse dialogue - both pro and con - everyone’s voice will be heard in order to find a positive path forward for all parties concerned.
The Carbon Conference has partnered with the Energy Exposition & Resources Symposium for multiple reasons. Their 25 years of successful Energy Exposition conferences is extremely valuable experience in the Carbon Conference's first year, however what may be more important is why it started.
Over 25 years ago, Wyoming was in the middle of an energy dispute similar to the carbon pipeline and storage issues. The Energy Exposition was started in order to broker peace and bring all voices to the table in a conference format. Twenty-five years later a similar situation is presented in the world of carbon.
We believe this partnership with the Energy Exposition & Resources Symposium will ensure fair deals will get done and peace will be brokered at the Carbon Conference 2024 Las Vegas.
The Carbon Conference is limited to 500 stakeholders, policymakers, impacted parties, and industry experts to ensure a solution-focused event, bringing together as many decision-makers to the table in order to discuss all the pressing issues related to carbon emissions.
We encourage you and/or your company to participate in this remarkable event. Sponsorships will not only allow your participation at the conference, but also provide your company with valuable exposure to a diverse audience of multi-industry professionals and stakeholders.
