Other Media

  • EV Battery Supply Chains Policy Scenario Explorer: Published in conjunction with2, this web applet allows for users to estimate the impact of US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives, policies in China, and critical minerals prices, on the relative cost of battery production, across battery chemistries. Updated to include estimates under the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' (OBBBA).
  • Industrial Decarbonization: The Final Frontier (Eloranta Fellowship, Summer 2020): The challenge of decarbonizing the industrial sector is critical in the fight against climate change. In this audio documentary, I explore the technical, economic, and social solutions to reducing emissions caused by steel and cement manufacturing, as well as industrial heat processes.
