Meeting the growing challenges of environmental issues while strengthening the economy is one of the greatest tests facing the world today. The Industrial Gas Industry is in a position to develop and support many of the solutions that will be required to both clean up existing environmental problems and prevent future problems through emissions control and clean energy sources.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a city steeped in the history of great American technological and industrial enterprises, will be host to the first American- European “Energy and Environment Week” (EEW), held on April 12-16 (Expo & Conference: 13-15, Site Tours & Networking Events on April 12&16) at the David L.
