I’ll take a moment now to say a bit about these

R7: Adaptive management of CCS
This work grew out of the CCSReg project (www.CCSReg.org)We have a book in press now with RFF press.

R9: CO2 emissions from commercial air operations
The EU is very focused on this topic, despite the fact that it is a relatively modest part of overall CO2 emissions.
Parth Vaishnav has a poster on this work, so I will not steal his thunder. In the first phase of his work he has focused on ground operations, and has explored:
• Minimizing use of main engines in taxis.• Possible use of various tugs including electric.• Possible changed roles for the use of APUs.

R10: Economic, regulatory, and policy issues related to hydrofracking for shale gas
This afternoon Austin Mitchell will present recent work he has completed on bonding for site close-out and remediation. Austin has also worked on several other issues such as water use from PA streams and a set of issues related to radiation risks.
However, we also believe that there is an urgent need to undertake a more general assessment of all issues associated with shale gas development.
My final few slides summarize many of the impacts that we think should be includes in such an effort. I’ll go fast since I have a handout.

Environmental Impacts• Existing uses, availability, and surface water quality
Wastewater handling, recycling, and treatment methods and technology
Water consumptions and source selection (e.g., freshwater versus acid mine drainage)
• Protection of underground drinking water sources• Exposure to naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM)
From the handling and disposal of solid waste with concentrated uranium and radium
From residential combustion of natural gas with radon• Emissions and air quality
10
Ecological Impacts
• Habitat destruction and fragmentationFrom well sites and access roadsFrom new pipelines and other production related
facilities• Impacts on sensitive or high-value (e.g., sports fishing)
watersheds• Increased topsoil erosion and siltation of surface waters• Reduction of ecosystem sustaining water flows and
downstream effects
11
Aesthetic impacts
• Views and vistas
• Recreational use of wild regions
• Noise effects/pollution
12
Human Health and Safety
• Health risks from air and water exposures• Risks from induced seismicity• Risks from truck traffic and infrastructure
deterioration• Risks from fire and other accidents• Risks from handling and disposal of hazardous and
radioactive materials• Risks from gas transmission and delivery explosions• Risks from methane migration and accumulation in
buildings13
Social and Economic Impacts• Community character and stresses of development (e.g., rising
prices, population growth)• Value of investment in workforce education and training• Future prices and the economics of gas and liquids production• Resource development/exploitation strategies and conservation• Property values, mineral ownership, and real estate dynamics• Condition of and investment in infrastructure and transportation • Development of supportive (e.g., steel) and consumptive (e.g.,
chemical) industries• Effects on competitive industries (e.g., coal)• Impacts to secondary resource exploitation (e.g., timber, land for
agriculture)• Degradation of sequestration (e.g., Carbon Capture) capacity • Impacts to tourism and recreation-based industries 14
Policy environment and its impacts• Public perception of shale gas
and awareness of key issues and tradeoffs
• Research support and advocacy of interest groups (e.g., industry, environmental)
• Industry makeup, self-regulation, and voluntary protections (e.g., pre-drilling water well testing)
• Regulation, enforcement, and funding
• Use of preemptive power at Federal and State levels; efficiency gains and consequences
• Conflict resolution (e.g., financial and legal remedies)
• Management of shared resources and space (e.g. logging, coal, agriculture)
• Policies (e.g., incentives, taxes, energy portfolios) that promote domestic utilization or support export of natural gas and liquids
• Benefits sharing and distribution within and across communities
• Competitive influences and cooperative strategies
• Expected future price and demand trajectories
• Adequacy and use of decision-making tools
Life-cycle assessment Economic input-output models Production curves and
projections• Resource and reserve estimation
