The central topic of this seminar is modeling approaches to facilitate resource conservation and a just energy transition. Potential subtopics are an emerging technology’s potential for scaling, life-cycle assessment for measuring social and environmental impacts, uncertainty quantification, and economic modeling for the energy transition. Our goal is to create an intimate, collaborative space for students, postdocs, scientists, and PIs within the Stanford techno-economic modeling and systems modeling community. These seminars will provide an opportunity to disseminate insights from your studies, connect with fellow researchers, and strengthen bonds across the community.

This week's speaker is:

Dimitri Saad, Ph.D. Candidate Stanford University
"Decarbonizing industrial emissions via heat electrification"

In his lightning talk, Dimitri will discuss the current challenges and opportunities with decarbonizing industrial facilities. His research, whose scope centers on California, integrates the decarbonization of the electric power sector in conjunction with that of the industrial sector. This approach uses the BRIDGES combined gas-electric energy model and utilizes data from the environmental protection agency to estimate heat demands of facilities pertaining to various industrial sectors. This work aims to shed light on the necessity of integrated energy models in charting decarbonization pathways for the state of California and beyond.
