Focus: Tribes, Sovereigns, Landowners, and Communities as partners in the Energy Addition.

The ROSA ENERGY CONFERENCE @ TU: This event facilitates critical dialogue between Tribal Nations, the energy industry, academia, and government regulators. The forum focuses on building “trusted environments” for the development of energy projects during their entire lifecycle, covering a wide range of technologies. By emphasizing a lifecycle approach of awareness, understanding, and engagement, the conference helps diverse stakeholders establish the partnerships and literacy required to navigate modern energy infrastructure and jurisdictional mandates. In addition, please note that TU is a non-voting member of the Tribal Energy Consortium.

The Rosa Energy Conference Participants will help establish the areas of focus for the Rosa Energy Challenge at TU.

ROSA ENERGY CHALLENGE:

Jurisdictional Mandates: Assessing legal frameworks and fiscal regimes governing energy resources.
Funding: Pursuing funding to support student and faculty energy focused research efforts at TU.
Stakeholder/Rights Holder Engagement: Developing specialized education and training programs for stakeholders.
Resource Management: Researching the impact of energy lifecycles, the long-term ownership and economic value of energy resources.
Shared Prosperity: Measuring “common good” benefits by focusing on economic empowerment through efficient energy resource management.
Repurposing & Decommissioning: Drawing on expertise to explore the repurposing of retired energy infrastructure and sustainable site decommissioning and reclamation. Notably concerning well infrastructure, TU was the first university globally invited to join the Plugging & Abandonment Collaborative Environment (PACE). To this day, it remains the only university member located outside of Europe. Please see the current PACE membership at the following link.
