Tribal Energy Summit

Hosted by:

University of Wyoming School of Energy Resources 

Thursday, October 17, 2024  |  8:00 AM - 5:00 PM | Hilton UW Conference Center, Laramie, WY

(Attire: Business Casual)

Summit Overview

Many tribes throughout the west have large-land based reservations that are rich in fuel resources and occupied by a relatively small number of residents. These tribes and their citizens have helped provide reliable, affordable power to America through the production of fuel minerals including coal, oil, natural gas, and the production of power with thermal and renewable sources. Wyoming shares many of these characteristics. It is one the largest land-based states, though the least populated with fewer than 600,000 residents, and produces 14 times more energy than it consumes.

The changing energy landscape requires energy producing sovereigns to innovate with new technologies and business models to meet growing energy demand and secure continued revenue streams through energy development, mining, and new business growth. Tribes have been adapting to changes in energy production techniques and market demands for centuries and continue to lead with new innovative projects in critical minerals, hydrogen, and carbon sequestration. They also face similar challenges to Wyoming in assuring that projects have robust social license and that the benefits of extraction and production are localized. This conference convenes leaders from energy producing tribal nations and tribal energy companies to hear from them directly about challenges and opportunities for continued energy development in the rural American West.
