Hosted by:
The Honorable Joe Manchin, III
Governor of West Virginia
Chairman, Southern States Energy Board

April 16-18

          America's alternative liquid fuels resources are the largest in the world, rivaling total global conventional oil resources.  Using state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly technologies, these vast domestic resources can be economically converted into clean liquid fuels to displace foreign oil.

          The American Energy Security Summit will present the most comprehensive plan known for our nation to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, its costly and risky dependence on imported oil.

• Join us to gain a clear understanding of this groundbreaking plan. 

• Learn about the tremendous economic development opportunities that are emerging for the states and the nation.

• Understand the great risks and costs to America of importing 60% of our oil requirements and see how this liability can be transformed into opportunity for all.   

• Discover investment opportunities for the private and public sectors in alternative domestic liquids fuels.

• Learn how coal can be converted into very high quality, ultra-clean fuels at competitive prices.

• Discover bio-technologies that are emerging to supplement grain-based ethanol and biodiesel production on a large scale. 

• See how our vast resources of oil shale are being developed in the West.

• Learn how carbon dioxide can be economically captured from alternative fuels plants and applied to produce substantial volumes of domestic oil that will help replace imported oil and will also reduce CO₂ emissions. 

• Hear how the growth of oil-rich algae is being enhanced with carbon dioxide and then made into biodiesel fuel.

• Show your support for state and federal incentives and policies that can "jump start" new domestic alternative transportation fuels production. 

• Network with governors, U.S. and state senators and representatives, and leaders and experts from industry, government, and academia.

• Promote your organization's products and services at a Summit exhibit table.

• Learn about the historic Declaration of Energy Independence document that has been circulated to the governors of all the 50 States by West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin, and has already been signed by 9 governors.  We are hopeful that more governors will sign this Declaration at the Summit.

• Support our host, West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin, and others leading the call for American energy security and independence.

          The Summit offers you the chance to gain a clearer picture from our expert panels of how you, your state, and the nation can capitalize on the tremendous and diverse opportunities that exist in the exciting new fields of alternative domestic fuels production.

          Join us to help build national and state momentum for the domestic production of alternative liquid transportation fuels from coal, biomass, oil shale, and enhanced oil recovery with CO₂.
