January, 2015 Publication
The ASMP (American Shale & Manufacturing Partnership), which consists of academia, trade groups, think tanks, foundations, labor and non-governmental organizations along with business development groups, held various workshops across the U.S. in 2013 and 2014 in order to examine the impact of abundant natural gas and oil due to shale development on U.S. manufacturing and explore how to enhance the nation's global competitiveness.
This report, a collection of ideas, identifies issues and suggests steps toward achieving the goal of a manufacturing renaissance.
The EFD Program is mentioned several times.
We gratefully acknowledge the collaboration with all of our sponsors, alliance members, and collaborative partners!

The EFD program, funded by federal, state and foreign government agencies, industry and environmental organizations, provides unbiased science to policy makers and identifies, develops and tests new technologies, processes and systems to reduce the environmental footprint associated with oil and gas activities, from well site selection through natural gas compression. The program, approximately $4 million per year, is engaged in research and technology transfer activities from the Western Slope of the Rockies to the Ukraine, and from the North Slope of Alaska to Columbia (South America). Research includes land, air and water issues, as well as public perception investigations. The program was honored with the Chairman's Stewards Award for Environmental Partnership at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
