Join the Columbia River Chapter of AEE on March 25th for our next Energy Engineering Forum, sponsored by Energy Trust of Oregon, as we explore a fascinating and timely topic.

NW Natural is committed to aggressively reducing the carbon footprint of what is going through its pipes. A 2019 Oregon bill, Senate Bill 98, established the most aggressive goals in the country for renewable natural gas, and NW Natural is working hard to replace fossil natural gas with renewable natural gas and renewable hydrogen. Hear about this strategy and how NW Natural is working to ensure the natural gas pipeline serves as a critical low-carbon resource for the region.

This event is free to attend.Members of the local AEE Columbia River Chapter will receive certificates of attendance and professional development hours.
