Presentation Title: Energy & Climate Change: The Dow Commitment & Challenge

Abstract: Dow is one of the largest industrial consumers of energy in the world, consuming fuel and feedstock on an oil equivalent basis of 850,000 barrels per day. At today's prices for oil and natural gas, its fuel and feedstock bill is in excess of $30 billion dollars per year.

Energy and climate change have come to the global forefront and present both problems and opportunities. This presentation will provide an overview of Dow Chemical and what it is doing to confront these global challenges. Dow sees the need for multiple approaches to solving the regional and global challenges. They present national and regional security issues for the energy that fuels our heating and cooling and moves us from place to place and for the feedstocks that provide the basic building blocks for the chemicals we have come to rely on each and every day of our lives.

Dow will outline some of the options it views as viable alternatives to address our energy, feedstock, and climate change challenge including the use of nuclear energy for process heat and co production of hydrogen that may be used by non-conventional carbon feedstocks with a CO2 free footprint.
