Keynote Talk
Many countries in the world are now attempting to reduce greenhouse gases through voluntary or other pollution-mitigation programs. Examples include the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a market-based regulatory program comprising Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic U.S. states that strives to reduce CO2 emissions in the power generation sector. Another example is the European Union’s “20-20-20” program that seeks by 2020: 1. A reduction of greenhouse gases in the EU of at least 20% below 1990 levels, 2. 20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable sources, 3. A 20% reduction in primary energy use compared with projected levels (via energy efficiency).
My research involves building optimization and market equilibrium models, mostly in the energy-environmental area to test the feasibility, efficacy, and value of these programs as well as other “what-if” scenarios for our energy-environmental infrastructure.
