August 17, 2017 | JACKSONVILLE, FL — Conference organizers of the sixth-annual High Horsepower (HHP) Summit, North America’s largest event focused on the economic and environmental benefits of natural gas for high horsepower applications, today released the agenda for the four-day conference and expo. The HHP Summit will take place November 6-9, 2017 at the Prime Osborn Convention Center in Jacksonville, Florida.
HHP Summit 2017 attendees will gain insight into dozens of operational natural gas marine, rail, mining, E&P, remote power gen, on-road trucking, and infrastructure projects through a series of plenaries, breakouts, technical workshops and off-site tours. The key agenda themes are:
- Increased market penetration of natural gas powered HHP equipment
- Early project successes driving investment in tangible supply chains
- Growth markets and opportunities in marine, rail, power gen and other industrial/commercial applications
- Existing and new supply chain assets driving market expansion and acceleration
- The competitive business advantage of natural gas given its long-term price stability and predictability
- Continued focus on environmental drivers—regulatory and sustainability
“Natural gas for marine, power generation, rail, and mining projects are being deployed in larger numbers, proving the economic and environmental value of these investment decisions,” noted Erik Neandross, CEO of Gladstein, Neandross & Associates, the U.S. clean transportation and energy consulting firm that produces the conference. “This activity is driving investment in the natural gas supply chain, which could not be better timed considering the expected disruptions in middle distillates in 2020 and beyond.”
The Summit will provide insight into real-world natural gas project deployments during comprehensive educational sessions and workshops. Confirmed executive level speakers include:
- Jim Hertwig, CEO, Florida East Coast Rail
- Momoyo Yuki, Sr. Manager of Business Development, Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd.
