The conference aims to highlight New Mexico's role as a leader in advanced energy and manufacturing, contributing to its status as one of the fastest-growing economies in the United States.
"New Mexico’s thriving economy is powered by our leadership in advanced energy and manufacturing," stated Gov. Lujan Grisham. "We’re focused on expanding our economic growth through LNG exports, carbon management, hydrogen, and geothermal development. This conference is an opportunity to spotlight what we’ve built and explore new partnerships."
Accompanying Governor Lujan Grisham will be Economic Secretary Rob Black, Environment Secretary James Kenney, and Deputy Chief of Operations Caroline Buerkle. During her visit to Anchorage, she plans to meet with key federal officials including Energy Secretary Chris Wright, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. Discussions will focus on opportunities for federal partnership in New Mexico’s advanced energy initiatives.
New Mexico is noted for producing some of the cleanest liquefied natural gas globally due to its leading methane emission standards. The state continues to spearhead advancements in the energy sector with significant investments in hydrogen technology, carbon capture and storage projects, and geothermal energy development.
Governor Lujan Grisham is scheduled to return to New Mexico on June 4. In her absence, Lt. Gov. Howie Morales will assume gubernatorial duties.
