Northeast US & Canada Petrochemical Construction Conference 2016
June 27, 2016 @ 7:30 am - June 28, 2016 @ 2:00 pm
The Northeast & Canada Petrochemical Construction Conference (June 27-28, Pittsburgh) specifically focuses on the planned 2nd wave of Petrochemical mega projects in the North East US and Canada region. The shale gas boom in North America has transformed petrochemical manufacturers in the US & Canada from high-cost producers of key petrochemicals and resins to some of the lowest-cost producers globally, second only to the Middle East, ushering in a wave of new ethylene capacity construction.
Kathryn A. Klaber, CEO, The Klaber Group, along with a panel representing leading government agencies, will present “Navigating Regulatory and Permitting Issues in the Northeast Region” on Monday, June 27, 2016. This presentation will focus on up-to-date information on permitting and regulations for petrochemical facility development, how the federal, state, and local governments plan to work with the petrochemical industry to support further growth, and how to approach both the federal and state permitting process so you can successfully overcome common pitfalls in project approval.
