Austin, Texas, Sept. 17, 2024 – For the second year in a row, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Assistant Secretary Brad Crabtree will deliver a keynote address at the Annual Event of the Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab (EEMDL), to be held October 22-23, 2024 on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin.
Following his keynote address, Mr. Crabtree will also participate in a fireside chat with EEMDL co-directors David Allen and Arvind Ravikumar on the state of emissions measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MMRV) science and policy.

Mr. Crabtree leads DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, which is working with the European Commission and more than a dozen other countries to develop a global MMRV framework for methane, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases across natural gas supply chains. The framework is not a regulatory process, but instead, it aims to improve the accuracy, completeness, and transparency of reported emissions in the marketplace and, in turn, drive emission reductions.
Other confirmed speakers for EEMDL’s 2024 Annual Event currently include:
• John Dabbar, ConocoPhillips & National Petroleum Council
• Annmarie Eldering, NIST Greenhouse Gas Measurement Program
• Jonathan Stern, Oxford Institute for Energy Studies
• Stefanie Shoup Rucker, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
• Marilu Hastings, Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation
EEMDL was launched in January 2023 by the University of Texas at Austin, Colorado State University and the Colorado School of Mines to develop and deploy MMRV tools that are transparent, peer-reviewed, and trusted by a range of stakeholders.
