Air Emissions Compliance Management
This
is a must-do program for senior managers who want to understand the techniques
for minimizing the costs to comply with emissions regulations while managing
compliance cost risk. In this course we
will introduce the concept of risk, a portfolio, and instruments used to manage
risk. We will show how to integrate the
emissions characteristics of utility assets with market trading instruments
into a complete portfolio to achieve the combined goal of minimizing compliance
cost while managing compliance cost risk.

All
of the sessions are intended to be interactive, and trainees are encouraged to
ask questions. The training is
intensive, and trainees should dress casually and comfortably. These training sessions will be specifically
tailored to the needs of the Client and it’s facilities. The session on troubleshooting operating
problems is intended to get all attendees involved. Training materials will be provided. The training materials will
be provided under license to Client for Client’s own use. There will be reasonable limitations on
reproduction of material, and the training material is not intended for resale
or re-use.
In order to prepare for the
training sessions, ATP will need some information in advance on the Client
facility(ies) of interest. We will send
a questionnaire a few weeks in advance of the training session.
ATP will provide:
1. Training to be led by J.
Staudt. Dr. Staudt will provide his
own laptop computer with a loaded PowerPoint presentation
2. Training materials in electronic form will be e-mailed
in advance so that copies can be made for attendees (Training materials are for
the exclusive use of the client organization and may not be copied or
transferred to anyone outside of the client organization).
3. There is no limit to the number of attendees from a
single client organization.
Client will provide:
1. Training room with adequate desks, a white-board, and
an LCD projector/screen that can be hooked up to a PC running Windows XP.
2. Dining facilities for lunch should be within the
building or lunch should be brought in by the client
3. Refreshments during breaks.
