PALO ALTO - January 23, 2008 - Eric Chung of management consulting firm Strategic Decisions Group will discuss the use of "real options" analysis in the energy industry at a conference this month in Tucson, Ariz.

Mr. Chung, a senior consultant in the firm's Power Practice, will present "Using Real Options to Evaluate Emissions Control Investments" as part of the Decision and Scenario Analysis track at the three-day conference. The Energy and Environment Conference is expected to draw more than 1,600 CEOs, senior managers, and leading experts for discussions of clean air, mercury, global warming, and renewable energy.

Mr. Chung and his SDG colleagues have assisted many power generation companies with environmental compliance investment decisions, particularly around sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission reductions. In some cases, real options analysis has uncovered sources of value that can influence a company's investment decisions. In his presentation, Mr. Chung will present a case example of real options analysis and how it might be used in complex emission control investment decisions.

The 2008 Energy and Environment Conference takes place January 28 - 30 at the Weston La Paloma in Tuscon. For more information, please visit the conference website.
