Since 2014, I have been conducting innovative research on resource consumption and carbon emissions of the world’s largest cities. My work provides a tool to estimate the costs and opportunities of increased sustainability accruing from climate change mitigation and air quality improvement projects in major cities. My knowledge of existing environmental regulations is strengthened through continual liaison, research, and investigation into new policy directions for greater use of biomass in the power generation sector, increased share of wind and solar power in the electricity generation mix, and developing district energy systems in local communities.
