As a low-cost, low carbon energy source, natural gas is replacing coal in the power sector and is becoming the fuel of choice for other industrial sectors, including exports, transportation, and chemicals.\u0026nbsp; Widespread conversion to natural gas will require considerable investment, expansion of infrastructure, and long-term environmental considerations. This session will explore many of the logistical, economic, and engineering challenges of natural gas conversion and discuss national and regional strategies for deployment.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker:\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003EHank Linginfelter, Executive Vice President, AGL Resources\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ETo register\u003C\/strong\u003E, visit:\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca title=\u0022Metro Atlanta Energy Series\u0022 href=\u0022http:\/\/energy.gatech.edu\/clean-energy-series-1\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/energy.gatech.edu\/clean-energy-series-1\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Metro Atlanta Energy Series, a monthly series presented by the Strategic Energy Institute and the Metro Atlanta Chamber"}],"uid":"27869","created_gmt":"2015-11-06 09:56:20","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:17:42","author":"Allison Caughey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2015-12-02T16:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2015-12-02T18:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2015-12-02T18:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2015-12-02 21:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2015-12-02 23:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2015-12-02 23:00:00","rrule":"RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20151203T045959Z;WKST=SU","timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"groups":[{"id":"1280","name":"Strategic Energy Institute"},{"id":"1316","name":"Green Buzz"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"10382","name":"chemicals"},{"id":"80081","name":"electric power"},{"id":"213","name":"energy"},{"id":"147111","name":"low-carbon"},{"id":"14263","name":"natural gas"},{"id":"168","name":"Transportation"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
