[미국] Richard King Mellon Foundation, CSSD의 2년 보조금 수여


Richard King Mellon Foundation이 최근 증명 프로그램과 대중 참여 계획을 지원하는 CSSD의 2년 보조금을 수여했다. CSSD는 애팔래치아 분지의 셰일 개발을 위한 첨단 기술 수행 기준과 협력적인 개발을 증명하기 위해 에너지 회사들과 자선단체, 환경 단체가 설립했다.

" Richard King Mellon Foundation으로부터 받은 지원은 CSSD가 신중한 셰일 개발하기 위한 임무를 수행하는데 도움되고 영향력을 행사했다"며 CSSD의 상무인 Susan LeGros가 밝혔다.

The Richard King Mellon Foundation has recently awarded the Center for Sustainable Shale Development (CSSD) a two-year grant in support of its certification program and public engagement initiatives.

CSSD was formed by a group of leading environmental organizations, philanthropic foundations and energy companies, which have partnered to provide natural gas producers in the Appalachian Basin with certification to a set of collaboratively-developed, leading-edge performance standards for shale development.

"The support we have received from the Richard King Mellon Foundation will be leveraged to help CSSD fulfill its mission to advance transparent and prudent shale development," said Susan LeGros, Executive Director of CSSD.

"We are honored and encouraged that one of the country's leading philanthropic organizations with such a strong heritage in investing in this region has joined us in support of implementing our third-party certification program and our efforts to inform the public about ways to address risk," he said.

In addition to the Richard King Mellon Foundation, the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation is also a funder of CSSD. Further, CSSD's strategic partners are: Chevron; Clean Air Task Force; CONSOL Energy; Environmental Defense Fund; EQT Corporation; Group Against Smog and Pollution (GASP); Citizens for Pennsylvania's Future (PennFuture); Pennsylvania Environmental Council; and Shell.
