Specialties: Life-cycle analysis of vehicle/fuel systems and energy systems, transportation energy supply and demand; biofuels, electric drive vehicle technologies.Michael Wang is the director of the Systems Assessment Center of the Energy Systems and Infrastructure Analysis Division at Argonne National Laboratory. His research covers evaluation of energy and environmental impacts of vehicle technologies, transportation fuels, and energy systems; assessment of the market potentials of advanced vehicle technologies and new fuels; and examination of transportation development in emerging economies. Michael Wang has been leading the development and applications of Argonne’s GREET (Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies) model for life-cycle analysis of vehicle technologies, transportation fuels, and other technologies (see https://greet.es.anl.gov/). As of summer 2024, there are more than 60,000 registered GREET users worldwide. Dr. Wang’s research results and the GREET model have been used by governmental agencies in North America, Asia, and Europe to develop vehicle and fuel policies such as low-carbon fuel and vehicle greenhouse gas emission regulations and by companies in pursuing environmentally sustainable vehicle technologies and fuels. Dr. Wang is a fellow of Society of Automotive Engineers. He is serving as subject matter expert in the Fuels Task Group of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and in the Corresponding Group on Marine Fuel Life Cycle Analysis of the International Maritime Organization (both under the United Nations). In the past, he served on several boards of university research institutes, energy/environmental NGOs, and companies. He was the former chair of the Subcommittee on the International Aspects of Transportation Energy and Alternative Fuels of the U.S. Transportation Research Board. Dr. Wang has authored more than 300 peer-reviewed publications.
Listed skills include Life Cycle Assessment, Renewable Energy, Energy Policy, Biofuels, and 15 others.
