Can the development of a new bioeconomy actually yield meaningful climate change mitigation and carbon removal?
Dr. Corinne Scown will discuss the role of the technological strategies by which bio-based energy production, chemicals, and carbon removal strategies achieve mitigation and sequestration, and what kinds of analytical approaches will be needed to prioritize and verify them into the future.
Dr.Corinne Scown is the Deputy Director for Research of the Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts (EAEI) Division at LBNL, Vice President and founder of the Life-cycle, Economics, and Agronomy Division (LEAD) at the Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI), and Head of Sustainability at the Energy and Biosciences Institute (EBI). Scown's expertise includes life-cycle assessment, techno-economic analysis, biofuels and bioproducts, air quality impacts of vehicle electrification, strategies for atmospheric carbon removal, and co-management of energy and water.
She leads the development of online tools for TEA, LCA, and bio-based feedstock assessment, including BioC2G and the Biositing tool. Scown was awarded the ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Lectureship in 2022 for her work on TEA and LCA of emerging technologies and recently served as a member of the NASEM Committee on Current Methods for Life Cycle Analyses of Low-Carbon Transportation Fuels in the United States. Scown earned a B.S. in civil engineering with a double major in engineering and public policy at Carnegie Mellon University, and she received her Ph.D. and M.S. in civil and environmental engineering at UC Berkeley.
This is a hybrid event with the speaker presenting in person.
