Energy: The Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy

Holland & Knight's Energy Team and Public Policy & Regulation Group are hosting a webinar examining the federal government's recent and forthcoming actions accelerating the United States' transition to a low-carbon economy. In this conversation, panelists will examine the current state of play on Capitol Hill and within the Biden Administration as Democrats race to advance the most sweeping climate proposals ever considered in the U.S.

The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Democrat-led Build Back Better Act will create a wide array of new incentives and opportunities for the energy sector. From new funding and financing opportunities for energy technology development and commercialization to an entirely new approach to clean energy tax policy, these bills will have a radical impact on business in the energy space. This discussion will highlight what to watch and answer important questions about what these packages mean for the future of the U.S. energy sector.

Additionally, they will review key federal developments over the first year of the Biden Administration, discussing new executive orders on climate, federal procurement, the clean energy supply chain, climate-related financial risk and environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting, as well as executive branch actions to stimulate the energy transition.
