Join us for a virtual seminar by Dr. Stephanie Shaw, Senior Technical Executive, Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). Her talk is titled "Air Quality Aspects of the Electric Power Industry: Emerging Research Directions in the Energy Transition."
Date and Time: Tuesday, September 23, 2025 at 1:00pm EST
Join us via Teams.
Abstract:
"Dr. Stephanie Shaw will provide an overview of recent research and development activities ongoing at EPRI, with focus on emerging activities characterizing technologies and applications in the electric power industry as it undergoes the energy transition. The topical focus will be on air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions from point and fugitive sources, air quality modeling, and associated implications for public health and safety. The technologies highlighted will include carbon capture, methane, hydrogen, and battery energy storage systems."
Biography:
Dr. Stephanie Shaw develops strategic research directions and manages a portfolio covering the environmental impacts of fossil fuel technologies, energy storage and renewable generation, deep decarbonization strategies and emerging energy technologies. This covers air, water, and health impacts; life cycle assessment; and sustainability. Dr. Shaw created EPRI’s Methane Characterization program, Environmental Aspects of Energy Storage program, and the Circular Economy for Clean Energy Technology Interest Group. Previously, she led the Safety and Environmental Issues committee in the Low-Carbon Resources Initiative. Dr. Shaw was Senior Health Scientist at ChemRisk, Inc. and a NOAA Climate and Global Change post-doctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Shaw received a B.S. in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in atmospheric chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
