Propane conference March 31-April 1

The Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority will host the Alaska North Slope Propane Conference March 31 and April 1 at the University of Alaska Anchorage Commons Building at 3700 Sharon Gagnon Lane.

Presentations begin at 9 a.m. both days.

The focus is on bringing stakeholders together to review current and long-term opportunities for using propane as an alternative to diesel.

ANGDA remains focused on bringing affordable gas to all Alaskans, said ANGDA CEO Harold Heinze.

“In the event a large or small diameter gas pipeline services our state, there are numerous villages and communities that would never benefit from North Slope natural gas,” he said, but would benefit from propane.

The conference agenda includes the delivery chain for propane and a panel discussion with rural community leaders on the potential use of alternative energy resources.

The conference is free of charge, but seats are limited.

For more information contact Heinze at 907-229-2660 or Mary Ann Pease, ANGDA propane supply coordinator at 907-529-9719.
